34% of HR managers said they have not hired someone in the last year due to viewing that persons social media page. Now they didn't say 'Facebook' but I guess then MySPace is still a player, if you think they didnt mean Facebook? Neck tats of course being the 2nd biggest reason! |

If social media prevented people from being hired, no one I know would have a job. |

You know how people say "If you aren't doing anything wrong, then you don't have anything to worry about"? It's kind of true here.Neck tats of course being the 2nd biggest reason! Just as long as they don't find my posts on this board. I'd be screwed then. |

Why? Do they not want to see what my friends say about their "busy" lives or how cute their kids are too? |

A lot of HR managers are also asking you at the interview to log in to your social media sites to view your posts, regardless if it is private or not. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/job-seekers-getting-asked-facebook-080920368.html BRick wrote: You know how people say "If you aren't doing anything wrong, then you don't have anything to worry about"? It's kind of true here. Agreed, but it is more than that. One HR rep I knew said she looked at a candidates' friends and their comments as well. They said you can tell a lot about a person by the people they associate with. I certainly dont agree with this practice as what I say in private should not factor in to my interview or review if I am performing at a high level and meeting expectations. One suggestion is to create two accounts for each social site. I have two Twitter accounts and two Facebook accounts. |

Also interesting to note...found this from another source (which has similar numbers to the negative impact Biggie listed) While the practice has been known to hurt a candidate’s chances, it has also had the opposite effect, giving them the edge on their competition. 29% of hiring managers said that they found something that led to hiring the candidate. http://thenextweb.com/socialmedia/2012/04/18/survey-37-of-your-prospective-employers-are-looking-you-up-on-facebook/ |

Thought this was interesting, and relevant.  Quote: One in three college grads said that access to social media sites like Facebook and the ability to choose their own devices was more important to them than salary when considering a job offer. This according to a study of 2,800 college students and young professionals worldwide conducted by Cisco. More than 40% went so far as to say that they would accept less money for a job that was down with social media at work on a device of their choosing if it also included telework.

For so long, employers have screwed over employees. Anyone my age has probably watched parents wonder about layoffs, lowered raises/cost of living adjustments, companies being sold, and shrinking or problems with pensions. My dad worked for one of the "best companies" to work for. When he was hired, basically everyone at the company said "come work here, put in your time, and they will take care of you". That was true. It was a great company to work for. However, the dynamic changed and his division was for sale for a long time, others got laid off, it was eventually sold, and departments/groups of employees were let go immediately. Thanks for your 30 years! Go home! Luckily, my dad wasn't one of the ones sent packing but he had friends who were. From an early age, the concept that an employer truly cares about you made me skeptical. Now, I know it's not even their fault. If things go badly, they have to do something. The days of workers just being thankful that someone would give them a job is ending. The older generation won't like it but it's time for workers to be selfish. Worry about yourself and then worry about your company. Normally, those go hand in hand. In general, it's good for employers too as workers with this attitude will want to excel to improve themselves. So, back to this facebook statistic. I think it's as much of a reflection of people wanting an enjoyable work environment. Most people can handle not checking facebook during work, but that same company probably has a bunch of other policies that are also restrictive. I would say in almost all cases that if a company blocks facebook it's less likely to be a nice place to work than a place that doesn't care(they can still track how much you use facebook without blocking). Given that corporations basically use you for their benefit why not factor things like this in if you have options? I have made a promise to myself that unless it's a chance I can't pass up I'll never work for a place that requires I wear a tie. It's not that I'm against wearing a tie, but it was representative of a certain culture that I don't want to spend 8+ hours a day at. People just seemed less happy there than any other job I have ever had. This is going to be really common in the future. It's going to be hard to attract good employees if you don't offer them a living situation they find acceptable. That's why I like the facebook question. I would probably answer that being able to check facebook is important too. Do you really want to spend 1/3rd of your day at a place that treats you like a child? I don't and given that this company would likely lay me off as soon as they needed to I don't really feel like they deserve any special treatment. |

Pretty much what I was thinking. I think that a business that sets immediate social media and web restrictions is insulting the intelligence and capabilities of a new hire before they even walk in the door. I understand there's a lot of jobs where you don't want people jerking around online, but there has to be at least an initial level of trust between management and employees about time management and privilege abuse. Showing right off the bat that you refuse them that trust would be, to me, an enormous red flag that I'm going to get hired and micromanaged into the ground. My current employer allows me full web access (to everything torrent sites, pretty much). It's a pretty amazing job, but atypical. The job I worked at prior to this 'websensed' pretty much every website under the sun, but the job was basically a glorified temp job. Going from one style of management/job (conservative, condescending, and spineless) to another (open minded, trusting, and bold) has been exhilarating. |
