Fort Collins, CO, March 30, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Tandem Select today announced a partnership with Social Intelligence Corporation. The partnership will enable Tandem Select customers to use social media and publically available web content as part of a background check, while ensuring consistent hiring practices and adherence to state and federal employment laws.

“Social media is a necessary tool for hiring, but it can be a legal and privacy landmine,” said Social Intelligence CEO Max Drucker. “We’re thrilled to be working with Tandem Select to provide a solution that addresses the real-world needs of HR managers working in a very challenging environment.”
