How Recruiters Use Social Media to Screen Candidates
Mashable
“90% of recruiters and hiring managers have visited a potential candidate’s profile on a social network as part of the screening process.
And a whopping 69% of recruiters have rejected a candidate based on content found on his or her social networking profiles — an almost
equal proportion of recruiters (68%), though, have hired a candidate based on his or her presence on those networks.”
