Many employers look up candidates on web sites
“Your online reputation may precede you during a job search, and it could keep you from getting your foot in the door, according to a survey. More than three-fourths of executive recruiters surveyed said they routinely use search engines like Google and Yahoo to learn more about candidates. Even more significant, 35 percent said they have eliminated a candidate from consideration based on information discovered online.”
Well, it sounds to me like 1/4 of executive recruiters are living in the Dark Ages.
