Recently, I tried verifying a few job candidates and was reminded how difficult it is to trace someone’s digital presence through a simple name search.
While it may seem like a logical step in the age of digital transparency, the process is anything but straightforward.
I had always known this was a challenge, but at a professional level, one would expect that if a candidate has a LinkedIn account or public work, it should be clear from the first page of a search engine result page (SERP). That assumption proved wrong.
