Forget egosurfing for a second and ask yourself, how much can people learn about you by simply Googling you? The idea behind the Google Yourself Challenge is: friends, relatives, recruiters, hiring managers, and even strangers may be searching for you on the web, Google yourself first and control what people can learn about you online.
Here are some statistics on who is looking for your data:
- 81% of millennials Google or Facebook their date before going out
- 79% of recuiters and hiring managers screen applicants by information available online
- 86% of hiring managers have rejected someone based on information available online
- 7 in 10 internet users search online for information about others
