As I have said its not that much different from references before companies became too scared of litigation to make actual comments about work performance. You seem to be trivialising my comments by saying "screening candidates via holiday snaps" when I have given the examples of how employers view it further up this page, it's nothing to do holiday snaps.

How many times can I say it annie, it is an invasion of privacy.
You are taking someone on to fill a position this to my mind does not entitle anyone to make judgements on what they do with their free time.
I am in no way trivialising your position on this, I just don't happen to agree it is possible to correctly assess the character of a candidate with information attained through social media.
