Do you believe that checking a candidate's social media is a fair and effective way to evaluate if someone is right for the company?

Today, we will be discussing a company's hiring strategies. When hiring new employees, recruiters usually review resumes to learn about candidates. However, with social media becoming popular, some companies are trying new ways to find out more about candidates. Recruiters view what candidates post on social media, like Twitter, to see their personality and skills. This helps to determine if they match with the company's culture and job requirements. Do you believe that checking a candidate's social media is a fair and effective way to evaluate if someone is right for the company? Why or why not?

This approach is fresh and interesting, but it has its drawbacks. Some candidates are super active on social media, while others rarely share anything. So, just looking at their online profiles might not give recruiters the whole story of what they're really like.

I don't think this is a great idea. What people share on their personal social media might not be related to their professional abilities or work ethics. Things like photos they've posted or comments they've made don't really help recruiters judge if they're suitable for the company.
