Another 12% of companies admitted that they monitor the Internet activity of applicants, but do not refuse employment because of photos and texts. Most employers (55%) do not check social media.

According to SuperJob, 43% of Russians take into account the possible interest of potential employers when maintaining social networks. At the same time, one in four publishes without regard to recruiters, while 26% do not publish their personal information.
