The Internet is awash with information about job candidates. Be sure you’re aware of how to use it properly. “If you’re new to social media, take some time to learn about it,” says Jennifer Jacobson, author of the forthcoming book, 42 Rules of Social Media for Small Business. “Find a platform that works for you.” Once candidates are in your hiring pool, it’s tempting to Google them and search the big social media sites to see what comes up. But the mix of public, private, professional and personal information that can be found online must be used with abundant discretion, if at all. “Recruiters should try to look at the person as a whole,” says Jacobson. “Look them up on the social media sites, Google them and their email address.”
