NBC’s Today Show reports the study found that 52 percent of respondents never consult social media sites as part of the pre-employment screening process.

“It’s overblown,” said Jason Morris, president of EmployeeScreenIQ, an employee-screening company, about the recent uproar over social media prowling. “I’ve never come across an employer that asked for passwords or anything as invasive as that.”
In this week’s installment of The Proactive Employer, we talk about how organizations currently use background checks, how they respond to adverse findings, their greatest concerns, and what lies ahead with guest Nick Fishman. Mr. Fishman is co-founder and Executive Vice President of EmployeeScreenIQ.
