What if Your Future Employer Did a Google Search on Your Name?

Employers are using search engines to find out more about their potential employees.

Are you safe from the scrutiny? What if your future boss does a Google search on your name? What will he/she find?

Recruiters and hiring managers do not have an easy job. They are trying to find the best people to fill vacant positions at their corporations. While many resumes may be sent in to a company, employers have to sift through each of them to determine who the best candidates are to proceed through the hiring process. Once that initial scan is completed, it then becomes a matter of looking deeper to find out which candidates are worthy of an interview for the open position(s).

Why are some candidates eliminated after the initial screening and before the interviews take place? The resume in most instances is not the problem. A job candidate's qualifications may even be a perfect match for a job opening. What can curtail the whole process is a trend that many people, especially younger people, are using to make social contacts on the internet.
