How Recruiters Are Stalking You on Facebook

Almost four months ago, Lisa Dorahy was scrolling through Facebook when she saw a job advert
pop up in her news feed.
She wasn’t really looking for a new job, and it was one of the rare times the mother-of-three
5 had time to use social media. But the post advertising for a part-time assistant at a recruitment
agency seemed perfect for her.
She followed the link to apply, had an interview three days later, and a job with New Zealand
agency, Human Connections Group by the following week. Dorahy now realises the ad was
specifically targeted to find her—or someone like her.
10 Facebook ads are not a new phenomenon—no doubt you’ve seen similar ads in your news feed.
But you may have also seen job advertisements appear for roles and industries that are outside your
regular line of work. This is likely the result of recruiters looking for someone with your specific
skills, based off information that Facebook has learnt about you from your behaviour on the site.
As more recruiters begin to use the tool, some warn the ability to hyper-target candidates for
15 specific jobs could also allow some recruiters to discriminate based on age, ethnicity, religion or
gender.
When BBC Capital contacted Facebook it declined to comment on the practise of targeted
recruitment on the platform.
It works like this: Facebook Ads is a service which allows businesses to pay to place advertisements
20 on and around people’s Facebook feeds.
When placing an advert, the business can choose the exact type of person they want to see it,
based on their age, sex, interests, race, religion and much more.
“Facebook has the most data on anyone, arguably, out of all the tech companies,” he says.
A Facebook spokesman says the company could not share data on the number of recruiters
25 using the tool, and declined to comment further.
Facebook is not the only social media network to allow targeted advertising—any platform
that collects data on its users can offer a similar service. For example, Google+ and Facebook-owned
Instagram also offer hyper-targeted advertising, while LinkedIn allows recruiters to create targeted
ads based on age or gender, but not on race or sexual preference.
