One change that has taken place in the ways of searching jobs by candidates and candidates being hired is the utilization of online company websites and social networking websites. The social media is used most often to find out about the reputation and public image of the company. The social media is also used by the employers and companies to find out about the reputation and public image of the candidates. There are background checks of candidates done by employers and organizations via social media even before screening the candidates for face-to-face or video interviews. There are candidates hired sometimes by not even meeting the candidates face-to-face by the employers and recruiters.
