Does the employer inform someone who was screened out due to social media content? An organization could simply tell applicants they have been screened out or provide more direct feedback and guidance on why Applicants may have greater acceptance when screened out if they are aware of the reason In practice, many organizations assume withholding such information is the preferred approach This, however, is an empirical question that needs to be tested Entwined with open social media data use policies are questions of accuracy and interpretation of information that appears contradictory (see Carr, 2016, for an example) Black et al (2016) discuss this with regard to evaluations of the credibility of social media content However, this represents a fairness question as well, as some social media might besmirch an individual’s reputation while factually inaccurate For example, a picture that could be interpreted as an individual engaging in drunken behavior may in fact be a picture of someone with a serious illness whose medication has led to such a presentation Even if the image is presented with text providing context, there is no guarantee that a viewer will read, interpret, or believe such text This raises further fairness questions related to whether an applicant should be able to defend or explain social media content discovered In an open process, an organization might directly ask an applicant about potentially disqualifying social media content found online The applicant could then correct an error if one was made or give explanation, and this could be done before or after the screen was conducted In a closed process where the applicant does not even know social media screening is happening, the misattributed picture or content might result in their exclusion without any chance for appeal In considering fairness, organizations may want to consider instituting appeals processes for applicants Practical responses of applicants must be considered as well If applicants are told that their social media content will be examined, applicants may close their social media accounts or engage in impression management These are questions 362 R.N Landers and G.B Schmidt organizations will want to consider as they decide how open they want their processes to be and how “cleaned up” profiles help or hurt the degree social media content predicts important organizational outcomes from applicants If the applicants with information most likely to flag them negatively are also the applicants most likely to change their profiles, this may have validity implications as well One potential result of knowledge of social media use in selection processes could be an arms race Chiang and Suen (2015) found that social media content impacted recruiters’ perceived fit of that candidate with the organization, and services have already appeared that modify social media profiles to increase hirability Thus, on one side, organizations will try to secure accurate information about applicants On the other, applicants will try to make good impressions, potentially regardless of accuracy This may result in warring technologies, each attempting to outwit the other in each iteration Roulin and Levashina (2016) delve into many of such issues created by applicant impression management Some organizations are already concerned about applicant faking, which makes the question of fairness more complicated Such concern led to organizations asking applicants for passwords to their social media accounts, a practice described by Schmidt and O’Connor (2016) and subsequently banned in approximately 20 states in the United States (Drouin, O’Connor, Schmidt, & Miller, 2015; Pate, 2012) If organizations think that impression management will lead to fake profiles, organizations will be less likely to be transparent about their social media screening procedures We are also likely to see organizations engage in new strategies and methods over time in order to combat this Importantly, research is not yet clear on the degree or incidence rate of social media impression management tactics in the selection process, so organizations in such practices may be chasing shadows This highlights the importance of further research in this area 16.3.4 Question 4: What Changes Outside the Context of the United States? A final and severely understudied question in this domain regards the generalizability of social media-based selection research conducted in the United States to other nations We invited two contributions in this area Shields and Levashina (2016) considered social media in BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) countries, whereas Schmidt and O’Connor (2016) provided examples of how non-US laws could impact social media selection processes More needs to be done, however, with a significant need for empirical work The three questions discussed above all may play out differently depending upon culture and legal system In the present economy, dominant companies are multinationals with needs to balance workforces and customers all over the globe As such, we need to couch our understanding of selection procedures within this global context, and the added dimension of social media which themselves vary in popularity by location makes this especially important in this context 16 Social Media in Employee Selection and Recruitment… 363 As noted by Shields and Levashina (2016), social media site popularity varies significantly by nation In some cases, particular sites may not be allowed by national policy, such as the forbiddance of Facebook and Twitter in China (The Economist, 2013) This has significant effects on how organizations engage in social media data collections and examination For example, Facebook data about a candidate from the United States may not provide the same information about that job candidate as data about a Chinese national job candidate on RenRen provides about that job candidate The censorship environment in China in addition to cultural differences in long-term orientation (Hofstede, Hofstede, & Minkov, 1997) might result in substantial range restriction on numerous traits of interest Cross-cultural and cross-platform comparisons need to be made on social media data A social media data analysis system that works well for Facebook data may not work as well for sites with different structures Organizations may combat such issues by focusing their processes on the affordances of social media (Collmus et al., 2016) rather than specific features or by focusing upon particular types of work-related behaviors such as those of Van Zoonen et al (2016), but the international context will work to complicate matters Language structures, differences in language formality, and etiquette expectation differences all can make comparisons of social media data across nations difficult One area in particular need of additional research focuses upon differences in applicant reactions by culture and country While there is existing evidence for some uniformity in selection tool reactions across countries (e.g Ryan et al., 2009), different values and expectations (e.g., privacy) will play a role in how social media selection processes are seen Organizations may need to balance national preferences with organizational desire for uniform systems of assessment A social media process that is seen as fair in one country might be seen as unfair in another Research comparing applicant reactions to social media data use in selection processes across different country contexts would be valuable for beginning to understand what differences exist International differences in candidate behaviors are also a high research priority Cultures defined by restraint may be more likely to engage in impression management techniques in comparison to cultures that tend toward indulgence (Hofstede et al., 1997) Content seen as a “red flags” in a restrained culture may be innocuous in an indulgent one, influencing which candidates are screened out for objectively identical infractions Behaviors engaged in by candidates may also be impacted by technology and infrastructure in a country Job candidates from areas with limited Internet access are less likely to have robust online social media profiles and general online presence Social media data collection policies completely standardized across nations may be detrimental to validity given such differences, depending upon the information sought Finally, differences in laws across countries will also have an impact on how social media selection processes are engaging in successfully and legally Schmidt and O’Connor (2016) offer some illustrations of the impact of national laws, such as the European Union’s Right to Be Forgotten, but more systematic legal examination is needed 364 16.4 R.N Landers and G.B Schmidt Conclusion In this chapter, we used the results of our author survey to develop several stances on the current state of the literature Specifically, experts are in general agreement that establishing a shared, interdisciplinary science is a high priority in order to determine the overall value and potential of social media in selection Such tactics are necessary to remain relevant to modern organizational practices given the quickly changing nature of social media It is additionally recognized that organizations are currently using social media in ways that are nonoptimal, if not harmful, to organizational goals, that there is pressure to continue doing so, and that practitioners face many of the same pressures that academics face The difference is that practitioners are more likely to adopt these technologies despite the lack of evidence, while academics are likely to call for more research All experts surveyed, whether practitioners or academics, expressed reservations about the use of social media in selection Here, however, there was some disagreement; some experts condemned the use of social media outright, whereas others suggested great potential somewhere in the future It is within the gap between those perspectives that future research in this domain will have the greatest impact From the chapters in this text, we furthermore developed four key questions of greatest importance for future research First, we must determine what useful information can be obtained from social media data This may be in the form of personal characteristics, like personality and cognitive ability, or it may be in the form of behaviors, such as social media endorsements and content counts Second, we must explore the technical details of incorporating this information into selection systems Specifically, we may take a more traditional organizational sciences approach, collecting specific theory-driven measures from existing social media, or we may take a more modern data science approach, extracting whatever information might be contained within social media data that is useful in parsimonious prediction of outcomes of interest Third, even if we can figure out what to measure and how to implement it, we must consider how applicants will react to it, and if our implementations are ethical Although great troves of data may be available, there may be lines that organizations simply should not cross Some data, perhaps, should just be off-limits Fourth and finally, we must consider how answers to the first three questions change as a result of location Both culture and legal context influence how social media data might be used by organizations, and researchers should pay closer attention to such differences Overall, we conclude from this that the future is quite bright for research on social media in selection Although this new predictor class is unproven and untested, there is sufficient enthusiasm from both academics and practitioners to suggest that future value may be obtained Just as it took decades to develop rock solid recommendations for other selection methods, especially considering many of those debates are on-going even now, we should not expect that the challenges of social media-based selection should already be solved If there is value to be found, it will take time to find it, and we hope that the questions posed here and the issues discussed will be a strong first step 16 Social Media in Employee Selection and Recruitment… 365 References Antelman, K (2004) Do open-access articles have a greater research impact?
