When it comes to recruitment in the digital age, many organizations perform preemployment background screenings on job candidates. This step in the hiring process often includes searching for a job seeker online to get a look at their digital footprint.
Although you may consider your personal social media profiles to be “personal”, there’s a good chance that what’s found online will impact employer hiring decisions. Set yourself up for success by learning what a social media screening entails, why companies use it, and how job seekers and employees alike can manage their profiles to make a positive impression.
