Looking for a job? Applicant beware. 

A recent study is bringing to light how human resources professionals review the online and social media presence of job candidates. It’s called “cybervetting,” and researchers say it can introduce bias and moral judgment into the hiring process.

“Some workers have a social media profile that sends the right signals and can take advantage of cybervetting,” says Steve McDonald, corresponding author of the study and a professor of sociology at NC State. “But for everyone else, not only are they at a disadvantage, they don’t even know it,  much less why. Because they don’t necessarily know what employers are looking for.”
