The Seven Deadly Sins of Social Media Employment Screening

A Complimentary Workshop for In-House Counsel and Human Resources Professionals

Tuesday, September 16, 2014
8:00 - 9:30 AM
Stamford

Presented by Shipman & Goodwin’s Labor and Employment Group

About the Workshop

Employers may find social media to be a tempting tool for screening new applicants for employment.  However, researching job applicants (and even current employees) on social media can lead to illegal discrimination and expose companies to a myriad of legal issues.

Join us for an in-depth seminar to discuss the “seven deadly sins” of social media screening and offer practical advice for screening and hiring without risk. 

Workshop topics include:

Bullet: Who, when and how to screen
Bullet: When enough is enough
Bullet: Compliance with applicable laws
Bullet: Collecting social media passwords
Bullet: Negligent hiring

Refreshments will be served.
