Excerpt from the Book
Drawbacks of Cyber Vetting or Social Profiling:
Cyber profiling or social media interaction employment background checks are limited to the online guise of a person.
Education verification is merely impossible as we cannot be able to assess the original documents like degrees, diplomas, certifications and licenses.
Past employment dates can be seen on their social profiles but we cannot assess about the employees performance records at their past employee.
Employers cannot be able to do a reference check of an employment candidate.
More significantly, an employer can never be able to judge a job candidate for his criminal past; ie. Criminal background checks are merely impossible through cyber vetting.
Financial or credit checks cannot be performed on an employee as a precaution to a financial loss risk.
