TEXTE 2
Using social media for recruitment
So, let's talk about losing a job before the interview happens. It is happening to people before
they realize it and we explain what to look for in your own internet presence to help protect you
at work. It is where we share memories, photos and opinions. But when it comes to social media,
some of us might(1)
be sharing too much. We're not only looking at types of comments but spelling,
grammar et cetera.
A recruiter says, " when a new person comes in, she starts with google. Then checks the other places
like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. She watches for unprofessional photos, curse words(2)
or red
flags(3)
that companies want to know about before the candidates walk in to the interview. " We're
not looking for bad content. If someone posts five times a day, you're wondering shouldn't they be
working? " . But just the opposite is also a red flag. " If I can't find someone at all, I'm wondering if
the person is who they really are? " .
Dallas based, fortune 500 company, South West Airlines, hired close to 7000 people and recruiters
used social media to find many of them. One of the recruiters suggests to, " Look at your social media
through the lens of an employer and ask, 'what would people think about that'? " .
Another company, State Farm, says it uses Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to engage with potential
hires before events. They say, " be prepared and have a proactive approach and keep in mind that
the job field is competitive " .
Even if the social media footprint is not clean, you can spruce up(4)
your profiles. Hit delete. That's
your friend. What you share becomes your friend. Do you have a lot of drinking pictures, are you
cursing on Twitter, complaining about your boss? Companies?
Social media professor, Janet Johnson says, " What you share becomes your brand. If you wouldn't
show a picture to your boss, it shouldn't be out there. One Tweet can ruin your life " . Although
deleting old photos and comments will help, Johnsons says, " creating a professional presence on
the web helps too. Have a full name on your email accounts. If you're questioning a post don't hit
send in the first place. Data doesn't die, everyone has a camera phone where you can take a screen
shot of everything " . Experts say the other tip(5)
is to create a new profile or start making a daily post
to make the prior unprofessional posts go further down.
