Over 2 out of 5 headhunters stalking local candidates on social media

Yes, recruiters are tracking you on Facebook and Twitter.

Better think twice before posting a snide comment about your boss. A survey by Hudson revealed that 41% or over 2 out of 5 hiring managers use social media to track potential candidates, creating an additional layer on top of traditional screening activities.

The report also showed that while 79% of professionals comfortable with their online footprint, candidates are becoming more mindful of their social media activities.

“To give themselves a fair chance, candidates must ensure their digital footprint is clean and professional,” stated the report.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
