For those of you not "getting the call"... First thing is to "background check" yourself...HR departments will do this first thing... Big one is a credit check as it speaks volumes as to you're character. They will also check you out on the popular social media platforms...i.e. Did you post anything you regret on Facebook? They WILL see it. Many companies use outside agencies to do basic level checks before ever calling someone for an interview...once you are interviewed and moved forward in the process, more extensive background will be done. This is in addition to the PRIA stuff.

I don't think they can do an actual credit check without your consent...

Or without your social which should not be on your app. As far as social media, set everything to private and friends only. Consider changing your name, and mostly just don't post really stupid things.

A cursory glance on social media could be a disqualifier for many...

Like the UPS guy who called in sick and then posted on Facebook that he was racing his car that weekend???

How can anyone see your profile on FB without being a "friend?" (Unless, of course, you don't know how to manage your privacy settings.)

You might be surprised how few people have their social media accounts 'locked down'.

Business insider had multiple articles about the trends companies were using to pre-screen potential candidates to include a review of social media activity. They were focusing on financial and tech companies but the broader implications suggested that it was (is) happening on a widespread basis. Best protocol: post neutral; support common core values.
