E-Verify Supported By Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano

April 1, 2009 By Chris Miller

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said today she supports the controversial employee verification program called E-Verify and wants to see it extended beyond the Sept. 30 expiration date.

In an interview today with Gannett Washington Bureau, Napolitano said the Obama administration hasn’t taken a position on whether or not to make E-Verify mandatory for all U.S. employers.

“It’s all about who gets to work and making sure they’re legally present in our country. And to do that nationally E-verify becomes a key component,’’ she said. “It certainly needs to available, effective and as inexpensive as possible and that employer needs to use it as a tool.

The Dangers of Using Social Networks for Employee Screening

February 11, 2009 By Chris Miller

Employee Screening Through Social Networks is one of the top ten trends in the employee screening industry for 2009.

Jackie Ford, who is a partner in the employment law group at Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease, LLP, wrote an article about this hot topic in today’s MarketWatch:

Various studies suggest that upwards of 40% of employers have trolled Facebook and other social networking sites for information on potential hires — and that when they find negative information on these sites, more than 80% of the employers factor that information into their hiring decisions.
Given how common the practice is, are employers well advised to use whatever information they can, from wherever they can? Not so fast.

While there is no specific prohibition on checking an applicant’s Facebook page, employers should carefully weigh the potential hazards before entering these waters.
