Employers ask job seekers for Facebook passwords

Exactly.

What can’t they learn from the means they had prior to Facebook (listed above) compared to what they can learn now? I’d venture to say not a whole lot more.

Or are we saying that people have been blindly getting hired and now Facebook allows managers a way to ‘see’ (so to speak) and their hiring decisions are now more accurate. I doubt they are. KrazyKid hit on the head. There are people who are a complete mess outside of work who are the perfect worker in the office and vise versus.

It’s BS and like JP said, people making Facebook out to be a bigger tool/useful feature than it really is.
