With or without, tons of companies will do "due diligence" and will look for your FB and Insta feeds, just in case you are drunk or drugged or whatever might seem inappropriate. Kinda creepy to go such lengths, but also some companies don't want people not smart enough to not post their shenanigans publicly.

Will they not hire you if you don’t have social media accounts? I could see them thinking that you are lying and trying to hide something.

  Usually information can be used against you, but the absence does not.

    IMO would suspicious for high enough positions where marketing starts to become part of the job

How do they ensure they are not looking at someone else with the same name ? Not hiring you because you are drunk on Facebook is one thing but not hiring you because someone with the same name is drunk on Facebook is completely ridiculous.

  Happens towards the last interviews, after which they already saw you irl/zoom. Interesting problem btw when picking up names for kids - unique or john smith to blend in. Something Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt pondered a decade ago.

They don't even have to troll your social media accounts, your application has all the info they need to buy details from a data broker/"consumer reputation service"
