Hiring managers are faced with recruitment on an ongoing basis and they are challenged with uncovering as much information as possible during the screening and interview process. This situation has led hiring managers to utilize several resources to obtain information necessary to determine whether an applicant is the right fit. Social media is often used as a form of background check to gather information about an applicant, which can perpetuate a problem in that often a hiring manager's bias is based on a potential job candidate's publicly available social media profile. Therefore, the purpose of this qualitative exploratory case study was to discover what content hiring managers review on applicants' Facebook profiles to make the decision to either hire or eliminate the applicant during the screening process. Participants for this study were in a hiring capacity within an organization located in the Dallas, Texas and suburban areas. Participants consisted of 12 hiring managers who used the Facebook profile to hire or eliminate a job applicant from the hiring process. A pre-interview questionnaire, interviews, structured survey, and a focus group were utilized to collect data. NVivo 11 was used to categorize some of the words and statements from which themes emerged. The themes were gather additional information or background check, no confusion when Facebook is used, no surprises using Facebook, recommend to have Facebook profile, use of photos to eliminate applicant, use of posts to eliminate applicant, use of photos to select applicant, eliminate applicants, judgmental, other social media used, use of posts to select applicant, and recommend to not have Facebook profile. Recommendations include additional research along with the use of a larger sample size.
