More employers are considering using social media platforms such as Facebook to check references and to gain a better sense of their potential employees.

Working on improving employee engagement?
EPIC is an Employee Engagement software that gives you the tools and insights to create a workplace culture that encourages engagement, loyalty, and trust.

Dianne shares her perspective on this growing social media trend.
