Despite what many of today's teens believe, you can get along perfectly well in your personal life without "friending" online. But teens are right about one thing; social media is a hub of information, some of which can benefit your business. If you don't know a "tweet" from a "Pin" or a "+1" from a "follow" you may not be able to make the best decisions for your business. In fact, you may make downright bad hiring decisions. 72% of internet users are now active on social media (Bullas, 2014), and that activity should play a role in your due diligence and hiring process.

Forward thinking business owners understand why teens are drawn in droves to social media. It is a platform for self-expression. It shows "the other side" of people; the spontaneous, unguarded, personal side rarely shown in a resume or formal interview. Social media investigations bring to light text posts, pictures, videos, group affiliations, awards, and personal preferences that provide insight into a potential employee's character that you might not otherwise be privy to.
