The Evolution of Technology Harpaul Sambhi | hsambhi@careerify.ca
Why HR Doesn’t use social media Reason #1 WE (HR) get bombarded... It’s not your fault... (actually it kind of is) Harpaul Sambhi | hsambhi@careerify.ca
Reason #2 – Privacy/IP • Yes, there is a more risk to exposing IP • But they can release IP easily through e-mail • OR over beers • But you have to update your privacy policies... • Yes, there is less privacy • The world is becoming more open • We should know this as technology companies: the dawn of Open-Source, and AI • Google, Apple, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.. Harpaul Sambhi | hsambhi@careerify.ca
Reason #3 - IT • Malicious Code/ Security Risks / Bandwidth • There are easy loopholes to access • Type: 69.63.189.34 • “Introducing social media is no more of a security risk than introducing the Internet” – Gary McGraw • No more bandwidth issues Harpaul Sambhi | hsambhi@careerify.ca

Internal Communication/Diversity Harpaul Sambhi | hsambhi@careerify.ca
