Social Media Screening: How Recruiters Really Use It

Did you know 70% of employers use social media to screen candidates? And 57% have found content that disqualified an applicant! We asked executive search recruiter Leslie Moore McKeand to give us the inside scoop on how your online presence can affect your job search.

Q: How much do recruiters look at a candidate's digital footprint?

A: Most recruiters do a quick initial check, usually on LinkedIn. They aren't necessarily digging deep into every social media platform.

Q: How important is a professional brand online, beyond just LinkedIn?

A: If a recruiter is trying to narrow down a shortlist, they might expand their search to other platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. This is especially true for creative roles like digital marketing and web design.

Q: Does poor grammar on social media matter?

A: Absolutely! Recruiters notice grammar, spelling, and punctuation everywhere – resumes, emails, and social media. When choosing between strong candidates, these details can make a difference.

Q: Can a website or blog help a candidate stand out?

A: Yes! A website, blog, or other online presence can be a great way to showcase your skills and experience. Other things that can set you apart include references, speaking engagements, and participation in industry events.

Key Takeaways:

• Clean up your social media: Make sure your profiles present a professional image.
• Proofread everything: Pay attention to grammar and spelling in all your online communication.
• Build your online presence: A website or blog can be a valuable asset.
• Get involved: Participate in industry events and network to build your professional reputation.
