Social media has become a significant part of modern life, with many people sharing their opinions, interests, achievements, and personal experiences online. As a result, some employers now review job applicants' social media profiles during the hiring process to learn more about their character, professionalism, and potential fit within a workplace. This practice has become increasingly common as employers seek additional information beyond resumes, interviews, and references. But with its popularity comes polarizing beliefs. Some argue that employers should be allowed to consider social media activity because public posts can reveal important information about an applicant's judgment, communication skills, and behaviour. They believe employers have a right to assess factors that could affect workplace culture, company reputation, or job performance. Opposers, however, argue that social media activity often reflects personal rather than professional life, making it an unfair basis for employment decisions. They also raise concerns about privacy, freedom of expression, bias, and the possibility of employers misinterpreting content taken out of context.
