If Your Team Is "Just Googling" Candidates, You're One Lawsuit Away From a Very Expensive Lesson.


Here's what's happening in HR departments everywhere: Hiring managers are conducting their own informal social media searches.

They're Googling candidates between interviews. They're "culture-checking" Instagram profiles. They're making gut-feel decisions based on what they find - or what they think they find.

And they're creating massive liability in the process.

The good news? There's a way to get the protection of social media screening without the legal exposure of DIY Googling. And it's not complicated - it just requires understanding what actually matters, what's legally defensible, and how to build a firewall between protected class information and hiring decisions.

That's exactly what this webinar covers.

Join us Thursday, December 18th, from 2-3 PM EST!

What You'll Discover:

  • The Legal Framework That Actually Protects You: When FCRA guidelines apply to social media screening (and when it doesn't - spoiler: DIY screening doesn't exempt you from liability, it increases it).

  • What Actually Predicts Workplace Problems: Forget the vacation photos and political opinions. Learn the specific behavioral patterns that licensed investigators flag as genuine risk indicators.

  • How the "Human Firewall" Keeps You Out of Court: How licensed investigators review everything candidates post, then filter ALL protected class information out before it reaches your hiring managers.

  • State-Specific Landmines: New York protects off-duty lawful recreational activities (yes, including smoking and drinking). California goes even further. The compliance patchwork that changes based on where your candidate posts AND where you're hiring.

  • Real Findings, Real Decisions: See actual Eagle View™ reports and learn how investigators categorize findings as High/Medium/Low concern.


Plus: Get 1 hour of SHRM CE Credit for attending!
