[quote=Anonymous][quote=cb21]Definitely talk to a lawyer. By the way, looking up applicants on Facebook can expose you to a host of legal problems. 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] That's ridiculous. Just because you know doesn't mean you will make a hiring decision on a forbidden factor. There's nothing prohibited about knowing someone is married or has kids, or is gay or handicapped. If you weren't allowed to know then you could never conduct an in-person interview or even know the person's name because those might reveal their sex, ethnicity, race, whether they are married, and whether they are handicapped.[/quote]
