21 Recruitment Using social media in the recruitment process Allow the candidate the opportunity to comment on the information s accuracy Should inform candidates about the vetting and verification exercises The nature of the enquiries should be proportionate and justifed Should only use vetting to obtain specific information, not general intelligence gathering Should look at how to improve current recruitment process
