Discuss the influence social media has (or could have) on HRM success.

What are the challenges of HRM professionals using social media to learn about current and potential employees?

The Wright article talks about how Facebook recruits. Bring in three other real-life, private sector employers (by name from your readings/research) and discuss their approaches to social media in the HRM context.

Demonstrate critical thinking and analysis of the relevant issues and HRM actions, drawing on your background reading and research.
