> Social stuff is absolutely the first thing I'm checking. It's a quick test to spot total lies, e.g. you claim you worked somewhere but are connected with zero people on any social network, or claim attendance at a school with zero connection to anyone. If nothing else, it helps to build rapport for the interview. There exist quite a lot of people who have no account on any social network for privacy reasons.
