    Sometimes you have to be careful doing this. If I mentioned that I looked at social media as a part of an employment situation, I could have got myself into trouble. If you do it, don't say so.

    How so @geoffw? Farcebook & Slinkedin are both publicly accessible, there are other search engines which also reveal someone's social media presence.

    If an applicant chooses to portray themselves as a hard partying person or a foodie or a recluse (locked down all privacy settings), that's up to the individual.

    If after receiving a job application with passport details etc then you decided to run a credit check, TICA & criminal background check that may be going a few steps too far for employing a gardener/tradie but possibly not for a cashier/childcare worker or pool cleaner.
