1. Social networking profiles: Organizations with social media policies and guidelines will want to

keep an eye on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn profiles of their employees to see if the set

rules are not being violated.

2. Religious, racial or political inclinations: Many individuals carry strong religious or political

inclinations and do not hesitate to share extreme viewpoints. Such behaviour could even costthem their jobs.

3. Soft skills: Particularly relevant for prospective hires; hiring managers at would-be employers

would want to observe how you express yourself, and how you deal with people online.

4. Networking skills: A prospective employee’s online connections can be a powerful window for

organizations to understand how well networked he or she could be.

5. Contributions to communities: Whether you are a programmer or a marketing or HR

executive, your contribution to relevant online communities like StackExchange, Quora or

CiteHR could also be tracked.
