Employers and recruiters have discovered a treasure trove of information on potential job applicants online.

Attendees of the webinar will:
- Learn how employers, human resources, and recruiters are using search engines and social network sites to source and screen candidates.
- Review what sites are available and what you may find.
- Understand the risks in using these sites.
- Learn how discrimination laws and rules concerning off-duty conduct apply.
- Uncover best practices for all stakeholders: Employers, HR, recruiters, and the job applicant.
- Be introduced other important tools, such as credit reports, driving records, drug tests, and international background checks.
