[quote=Anonymous][quote=cb21]Definitely talk to a lawyer. By the way, looking [b]up applicants on Facebook can expose you to a host of legal problems[/b]. For example, you now know the age of the applicant and that he/she has small children. What if you had found out that he/she is handicapped? Gay? Unmarried/married? Those are all factors that you can not take into account when making a decision, but you now have access to. Legal minefield.[/quote] I disagree with this. This is standard due diligence these days. You cannot ask about these things in interviews or discriminate based on them, but you're not prohibited from ever looking anywhere that would reveal someone's age, marital status, etc. Employers have the right to conduct research about potential employees. They're just not allowed to discriminate based on a protected status.[/quote]
