Employers Using MySpace for Background Checking
RepVine, an on-line reference and reputation management service, has an amusing video about the dangers to candidates when employers use MySpace, Facebook, and other social networking sites as part of their background and reference checking process.
As indicated on the RepVine site, information that candidates post on-line about themselves and others can be unearthed and used by employers when they are deciding whether who to hire. That information can be helpful or harmful to the candidate. RepVine helps candidates aggregate the information by providing candidates with a platform to manage their references.
