@nivo0o0 how many people get rejected from a job because of their Facebook activity after this?!

@bentossell @nivo0o0 The statistics are actually pretty high, I believe as many as 70% of recruiters rejected a candidate based on social media

@exlemor · Cust. Exp., Prod. Mgmt etc are my world.
@bentossell @gabriel__lewis @nivo0o0 Not necessarily... the reality is that for MOST people [i.e. read that to mean 95%+] are NOT putting up a 'real' version of themselves and most Recruiters are aware of that...
Recruiters will get more a sense of political views, a person's reaction to current events etc than anything else... do I think that's an issue - for me no, but it could be for some...
If you think that's a problem, check out what Facebook can figure out about you in a few hours/days with Data Selfie [https://www.producthunt.com/post...]... now that's really scary.

@nivo0o0 It is nice that Facebook is exploring new things but they should stick to what they are known for. Unfortunately the professional world is not their forte in terms of having valuable content in that matter in my opinion.
