Ask HN: What do we know about FB candidates profiling?

1 pointbsvalley1 comment

Does Facebook have access to candidates full profiles and browsing history to run a quick background check? Some companies ask for your FB profile URL. What does Facebook itself do when someone applies for a job at their company?

FB sure has access to everything you put on FB. They are selling the ability to track a person from point of click to point of sale so they have access to data far more intrusive than a background check.

Do they have access to check your criminal records and tax records probably not.
