As employers, adapting with the technological advancements is essential in optimizing their talent
searching process. Social media works as an initial contact and somewhat of a background check helping
employers gauge whether the candidate is the right one, academically, professionally, culturally and
socially. More importantly, with the business world becoming more digitally slanted, the fact that the

digital advancements not only gives the employer greater power but the prospective employee greater
control of being scouted.
