February 12, 2010 Recruiting, Social Media and Disparate Impact

In this installment, Stephanie R. Thomas provides a recap of her webinar, "Using Social Media for Disparate Impact? Beware Disparate Impact Claims". Special emphasis will be given to the information available on social networking sites that may violate anti-discrimination laws, demographic differences between the typical social media user and the civilian labor force, and how recruiting exclusively with social media can potentially lead to disparate impact claims.
