I'm not aware of any cases for the recruitment of employees.
Discrimination is not legal under various anti-discriminations Acts, but vetting per se is not necessarily a discrimination under these Acts. Checking public social media sites to gauge someone's social skills seems reasonable, as does checking for evidence of drug abuse.
What is your circumstance?
