Arguments for my position
Argument #1: Employer doesn't need to know personal
information in details.
an employer learning an applicant’s religion, sexual orientation,
or political affiliation without the applicant openly disclosing
this information could open the employer to liability (Delaney, 92)
Argument #2: screening employee's SNS without agreement is
against privacy.
privacy is the claim of individuals, groups, or institutions to
determine for themselves when, how and to what extent information
about them is communicated to others. (Jeske, 536)
Argument #3: It will reduce attractiveness of employer's
organization. Applicants don't like the screening.
The results indicate that organizations seeking to hire individuals
should consider the costs and benefits of the clandestine use social
networking websites to screen employees. Such practices could reduce
the attractiveness of an organization during various phases of the
selection process, especially if the applicant pool at large knows
or suspects that the organization engages in such screening
(Stoughton, 86)
