91% of employers check social networking sites to get a read on their prospective employees, according to How Recruiters Use Social Networks to Screen Candidates, an article and infographic on Mashable.com. 69% have rejected an applicant based on their online profiles and 68% have actually hired a person because they liked what they saw.
The main lesson here is obviously to watch what you post online. Â However, if there are websites out there that you don’t want an employer to find, our Positive Results Online Reputation Management service can help.
Thanks to graphic designer Christine (@chrisalyss) for sharing the find.
