Google tells me that: “HireRight reports social media comments to employers only if the prospective employer explicitly requests and pays for a social media background screening package as part of their pre-employment check”
Anyone in recruiting in the US ever seen candidates not hired because of their social media posts being too pro human rights?


You’re both right, it’s not fringe. I don’t think it’s necessarily separated along money lines either.
I specifically pointed out I post mainstream stuff “I can live with” under my name. For you Palestine may be inside those lines, for me it would not.
This is because I personally would rather deal with an employer who is careful around the Israel/Palestine corner, but I would as an example absolutely not wish to work for someone who wants to take away queer people’s rights. I openly advocate for this stuff at work and I intend to keep doing that throughout my career.
