Poorly thought out comment... what if recruiters follow the ever-growing trend of asking for the login for privacy-set FB accounts?
Oh - then they'll see all of those pictures etc.
What are you, as the job seeker going to do... say "no you can't have my login?" That would take some big juevos, my friend.
- beaumartinez 16y ago> Asking for your login details. Do some recruitment agencies actually do that?! They expect you to hand over your password? I'm speechless! I would have a hard time saying "no", but ultimately, giving someone your login details is like giving them the keys to your house: a lot of people use the same login for many (if not all) websites, including their email.
- cmars232 16y agoI would not have a hard time saying no to this at all. There are limits which you can assert without being rude or coming across as paranoid. What's next, access to all your private emails? Some private content like facebook could add to their liability for discriminatory hiring practices. Imagine if they figure out your sexual preference, or veteran status. Seriously, recruiters would be foolish to pry like this into the personal lives of recruits.
- matthewlyle 16y ago> say "no you can't have my login?" Of course I would. I don't think that takes big anything. That's an incredibly inappropriate request.
- mbabbitt 16y agoYouTern would never suggest giving login information to an employer, or anyone else. And it highly unlikely -- unheard of, even -- that a recruiter would ask for login info or passwords. We've heard of several applications that contain fields for links to social media sites, including Facebook... so assuming the commenter used "login" when they actually meant "URL" or "link".
