Andrea has an interview with a local hospital for a staff nurse position. She dresses in her nicest jeans with a beautiful red sweater. Because she looked forever in her closet for her jeans, she is now 10 minutes late for the interview. During the interview, she maintains direct eye contact with the recruiter, clearly answering all questions. When asked if she has any questions before the interview, Andrea asks about the sign-on bonus and pay raise scales. She also requests a tour of the unit to meet with some of the current staff members.

In closing, the recruiter told Andrea that her Facebook page was viewed to gather an understanding of Andrea's background, likes, interests, and goals. Is it legal for the recruiter to gather information from Facebook? Why or why not?
