This isn't a background check, this is interfering in personal and private life. I agree, a disaster waiting to happen. Ridiculous.

Besides, how many Tom Smith's do you think are on the net? How do you know which Tom you're looking at. I agree with Paul 100% This is a disaster waiting to happen.

I followed the link to the CB website, read the instructions and the comments, including some very thoughtful comments by one of the development team. I still think this is a huge mistake, and would never allow my recruiters to use this tool - as the expression goes "no good can come from this" - "this" being the action of looking into someone's "non-work" activities. There's too much danger of running into one of the "protected" or semi-protected activities of a person's personal life. Even if the insight is not used in the hiring decision, the employer is now in the position of having to Prove it Wasn't. That's why I would not recommending doing any background that was not processed through an independent, licensed or bonded third party source. I don't need to See someone's church or political or social club information to make a good hiring decision, and I don't want the liability of having to defend against that "non-job-relevant" data..... just my thoughts after 21 years in the business!
