Social Networking Sites Getting Risky For Recruiting
onehitwonder writes "While many recruiters and HR managers are taking advantage of the Web and online social networks to screen candidates for positions inside their organizations, a bank in Texas has decided that using social networking websites in its recruiting process is too risky legally. Amegy Bank of Texas now prohibits internal HR staff and external recruiters from using social networking sites in its hiring process. Amegy's decision to ban the use of social networking sites in its hiring process demonstrates its respect for prospective employees' privacy. It also sends a message to the employers and recruiters using social networks to snoop into job seekers' personal lives that their actions border on discrimination and could get them in a lot of legal trouble."
Lol... I like the she's driving a big ass SUV (sure, not an Escalade, but still a MSRP $30k car).. she was just causing a scene to cause a scene, although she is technically correct in her argument that the store should had prepared appropriately.
Although most of those people probably spent more on gas then a the few dollars they would have saved trying to hunt down some cheap deals
