In today’s society many people are turned down by employers and recruiters because of their social media pages. The reason behind is because they have undesirable posts from the past, having lack of guidance in posting, and posting things that may damage their public image. Our service can help eliminate these problems by clearing the history of their posts, monitoring their page, and by providing guidance on what to post for their targeted audience. My Big Clean searches your tweets for inappropriate or damaging content and allows you to quickly view and delete them.
Your social media posts might win over or make you lose friends, but according to a recent CareerBuilder survey, they could also have a big impact on prospective employers. Seventy percent of employers use social networking sites to research job candidates (on par with last year), while seven percent plan to start. And that review matters: Of those that do social research, 57 percent have found content that caused them not to hire candidates.
The national survey was conducted online on behalf of CareerBuilder by The Harris Poll between April 4 and May 1, 2018. It included a representative sample of more than 1,000 hiring managers and human resource professionals across industries and company sizes in the private sector.
Who's Checking and Why?
Broken down by industry, those in IT* (74 percent) and manufacturing (73 percent) are more likely than those in retail/non-retail sales* (59 percent) to do social networking digging on potential job candidates. But it's not just the social sites that are fair game – 66 percent of employers say they use search engines to conduct their research on potential job candidates.
Nearly half of employers (47 percent) say that if they can't find a job candidate online, they are less likely to call that person in for an interview – 28 percent say that is because they like to gather more information before calling in a candidate for an interview; 20 percent say they expect candidates to have an online presence.
