During recruitment process, to decide whether to call a job interview to candidates, the employers goes for unprotected social media profiles and then check candidate’s suitability for a job. And in numbers, more than 90 % employers follow it, study said.
The study has been conducted by a global security software company over activity of human resources professionals in the US and UK regarding job interview.
Meanwhile, a job candidate who wants to be a prospective candidate for employers have to update their current profile photos because inebriated images display on their profiles reduces 84% chances of securing an interview.
Even evidence of obnoxious behaviour, negative or derogatory comments about a previous employer and any abnormal views about topics can also judge job candidate for interview call opportunity, reports said.
“Nowadays, online content posted about, or by a candidate, has become the modern-day equivalent of a first interview,” Tony Anscombe, the ambassador of free products for AVG Technologies said.
