According to a recent survey conducted by Jobvite, more than
92 percent of employers are using social media networks to find qualified
candidates. Linked In remains the number one online resource, but employers are
looking at Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc. The survey also revealed that 3 out
of 4 hiring managers and recruiters check candidates’ social profiles and
nearly half of the recruiters and hiring managers check even if no profile
information is provided.
If you have online profiles, clean them up. An article about the survey shared a few
online activities that resulted in a negative reaction from employers:
- Posts revealing or mentioning drinking, drugs or sex.
- Using profanity
- Grammatical errors and typos
