How teams navigate social media background checks

My work team has been trying to hire someone but we keep finding their old social media posts and having different reactions to what's appropriate to consider. Half of us think people deserve fresh starts and half think character matters and we can't agree on what's fair or even what's legal to discuss.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The permanence of digital traces collides with beliefs about redemption and professional judgment.
