Problem: Which statement regarding social media posts and employment is true? Multiple choice question. Most employers simply do not have the time or the staff to routinely search through a candidate's social media profile and posts. While employers do look at a candidate's social media profile, they are only looking for confirmation of felony or unlawful activity. In many instances, posts by candidates on social media and seen by hiring managers have prevented the candidate from being hired. It is unlawful for an employer to check your social media profile, so you do not have to worry about what you have posted in the past.
