Google tells me that: “HireRight reports social media comments to employers only if the prospective employer explicitly requests and pays for a social media background screening package as part of their pre-employment check”

Anyone in recruiting in the US ever seen candidates not hired because of their social media posts being too pro human rights?

    Being pro-Palestine is certifiably not fringe, outside of the political and financial elite.

    I still try to have somewhat anon accounts for anything interesting, but I’m sure that if you dig hard enough that you could connect them to me.

      You’re both right, it’s not fringe. I don’t think it’s necessarily separated along money lines either.

      I specifically pointed out I post mainstream stuff “I can live with” under my name. For you Palestine may be inside those lines, for me it would not.

      This is because I personally would rather deal with an employer who is careful around the Israel/Palestine corner, but I would as an example absolutely not wish to work for someone who wants to take away queer people’s rights. I openly advocate for this stuff at work and I intend to keep doing that throughout my career.
