About the role

Should you Google your candidates and peruse their social media pages? The jury is still out on whether that is a good idea or it's too fraught with bias concerns and legal liability. However, employment attorney Eric Meyer shares best practices and examples. He cautions against taking a chance on a candidate who has engaged in discriminatory behavior online, but also reminds us that in some states people can't be retaliated against for political speech and advises "having a little compassion."
