Besides Potentially Looking Like an Idiot… • Interviewers are more and more commonly using search engines to get the scoop on individual applicants. • When interviewing for a competitive position employers need to know if they’re making the right choice and will take every measure available to them to ensure they have the right candidate for the job.
