Even when you do not provide your social media profiles, employers can still access them with a few simple commands. So, what do they want to find, search, and evaluate from the "private place" of candidates?
A Clear Portrait of Candidates
Social networks are becoming a useful reference channel for companies and entrepreneurs before scheduling an interview, evolving from the basic tool of a CV.
Based on respecting the principle of individual liberty, recruiters can effectively screen potential employees with just a few clicks to check your LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Tumblr, even Flickr, and YouTube.
According to a new trend, most recruiters care about the personal pages of applicants. It's just a different approach depending on the job positions. For example, when they read your status on Facebook, they can partly understand you and what you think, which is not dominated by anyone.
Why Recruiters Try to Access Your Social Media
Through your social account, employers can gain insight into your characteristics, knowledge, and communication ability. It is not too different from reality, except for some exaggerations.
On the other hand, they can detect any discrepancies in your experiences from these connection networks. You can easily fail due to pessimistic content or offensive photos, which are just a few of the consequences many candidates face, impacting their opportunities.
Looking for Appropriate Level with Applying Position
There is no common formula for consultation via personal pages. For instance, in the PR or marketing field, they need people passionate about connecting with others. They will proactively look for signs from status updates, comments, notes, and images—are they attractive, beautiful, or valuable? For roles requiring meticulousness, you should avoid regular misspellings. As a designer, you should showcase your aesthetic thinking, etc.
Building Your "Brand Card"
All leading corporations want employees who demonstrate a professional working manner and intelligent behavior in real life and on social networks.
Social networks are like a double-edged sword; if you know how to build a personal image, many job opportunities will open to you, and vice versa. You, especially young candidates, should seize your chances and participate in social page strategies, which are ideal "dating" places between employers and employees. Simultaneously, your online profiles need to be improved and completed over time.
Pay attention: candidates' abilities are not only proven by this tool but also through real career challenges. If you don't have impressive capabilities, you can fail at any time.

I agree. Most HR professionals will take a look at a candidate's social media before making any decisions. However, for recruitment agencies, it may be harmful to their businesses when more and more companies use social media to recruit directly.
