Similarly, rule #4: Google candidate. What happens if candidate doesn't have Google presence? Or if there are other people with the same name as the candidate who have weird websites or videos posted somewhere. Give me a break, let's not get paranoid about hiring. You can always let someone go.
- eigenvector 8y agoThere's a guy with my name, roughly the same age as me, from the same hometown who's a recently paroled pedophile. All the top results when you search my name are about him. So yeah, I'm not enthusiastic about Googling every candidate.
- drdeadringer 8y agoAlternatively, my "Google Twin" is literally a rock star. Obviously we are quite different people by look and by crook, but this is a coin with at least two sides.
- jpindar 8y agoThat's all the more reason why you should have a web presence!
- FLUX-YOU 8y agoNot everyone can have that, esp. people with a history of stalkers or abusive friends/family.
- stordoff 8y agoI recently found out there's not only with the same name as me (it's a fairly unusual name--I haven't previously heard it outside of my family), but also went to my university. It would be very easy to get us confused.
- erichurkman 8y agoI took my partner's last name when we got married so I no longer shared a name with murderers, drug dealers, a corrupt politician. Now I share a name with a farmer, two people in the Netherlands, and a hobbyist jeweler. Much better.
