1. If a job candidate tells me he doesn't use social media and it turns out he does, then he's not getting hired — plain and simple.

That's fascist. First off asking some one about their social networking has to be illegal. It is unconstitutional.
Do you also ask them, If they own firearms, too

Are you sure you want to be here at FR.

Baloney. I am a private employer and I will ask whatever questions I see fit to ask. We screen prospective employees about a whole range of things, and no candidate has a right to be employed by my company.

I don't ask them outright if they own firearms, but I am interested in presenting questions that could very well bring this bit of information out. A person who owns firearms is a highly valued employee, in my mind. If a candidate sits in an interview and tells me he goes hunting on weekends, he is far more likely to get hired than another candidate who does almost anything else on his own time.

Now I'll ask you: Which one of us belongs here at FR?
