I hate Klout scores. HATE. But once they evolve, so they're less gameable, those in charge of hiring will definitely pay attention.

- yalurker 16y agoUnless I'm missing something, I don't see how your twitter influence is important to any job except for paid endorsements. If I'm hiring an engineer, a project manager, or a designer, I care about their ability to do the job, not about how much they influence their twitter followers.
- vrish88 16y agoThere are numerous benefits to having someone with social influence work for your company. Say your developer has a large following on Twitter. - Any problem that they don't know how to solve can be solicited to x number of people. - If they encounter a bug in 3rd party software that your company uses and publicly bitch about it, the better chance you have to get a timely fix. - If your company uses/creates open source software, it is more visibile, and there is a greater likelihood that more people will contribute to it. - They market your company. - They attract more desirable hires.
