In the study, Microsoft surveyed 2,500 HR Managers and Recruitment Professionals, and 70 per cent of responders said they rejected a candidate because of their online behavior. 28% said they terminated an existing employee due to content found on a social networking site.
However, responders also said that building a strong personal brand on social networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn can help candidates. Peter Cullen, of Microsoft, said: “Your online reputation is not something to be scared of, it’s something to be proactively managed. These days, it’s essential that web-users cultivate the kind of online reputation that they would want an employer to see.”
