Interesting article. For a discussion on how recruiters may want to approach social network sites in a way that minimizes potential allegations of discrimination or violation of privacy, see: http://www.esrcheck.com/wordpress/775/the-rush-to-source-candidates-from-internet-and-social-networking-sites-2

A pity there are no figures on the social networking activities and names and language and image and photos of all those supernatural researchers..or the recruiters who pay too much attention to background checking.. or…the pot calling the kettle black..!

I’d love to background check the recruiter recruiting me..or maybe I just won’t ! lol !

Any social network is a mirror of our social life, our community, the world .. so why do we expect to see something different there? Or is a career only ment for the few lucky superhumans or ubermenschen ?

There’s an interesting flip side to this study: 24% of hiring managers say they’ve actually been impressed by social networking profiles, and hired people because of the professionalism, creativity, or communication skills they show there. So instead of just living in fear of these prying eyes — taking down photos and comments, as you suggest — maybe people who are serious about finding a job should put more effort into using their MySpace or Facebook profile to show off their strengths. What do you think? Discussing this on the new BusinessWeek career blog, First Jobs:
