Yes, recruiters are tracking you on Facebook and Twitter.
Better think twice before posting a snide comment about your boss. A survey by Hudson revealed that 41% or over 2 out of 5 hiring managers use social media to track potential candidates, creating an additional layer on top of traditional screening activities.
The report also showed that while 79% of professionals comfortable with their online footprint, candidates are becoming more mindful of their social media activities.
“To give themselves a fair chance, candidates must ensure their digital footprint is clean and professional,” stated the report.
