Arguments against my position
Employees' postings displaying a poor attitude toward customers or
portraying vulgar, promiscuous, or racist tendencies may also
portray the company in a bad light. (Hunt, 49)
Many employers use social media themselves, for job applications and
university admissions, as these digital platforms are ideal for
information-sharing, creating user-specific content and facilitating
collaboration between people. (Jeske, 536)
The first reason that motivates employers to turn to social
networking
sites for hiring is their wish to avoid civil liability for
negligent hiring (Lusk, 718)
