Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

But you can't choose what people search about you before hiring you.
On the other hand, I think the people doing this are aware of the risk they're taking most of the time. They know people will search their names and see what comes up before hiring them.
When did this become about you?
Please point out where "people" said that. I certainly didn't:
You understand that they can find your social media regardless, right?
If you have it and publicly post, it's not private and they can and should consider your public behavior as part of the process of deciding whether to hire you.
This is literally a response to the fact that people putting things on social media is going to make it much harder for them to get a desirable job.
That's the entire purpose of the post you were somehow disagreeing with.
Employers, especially for white collar gigs, often Google the folks they are hiring.
That's rarely possible anymore.
I guess me and most of the people I know are rare
It's also considered a red flag to have no online presence, so be careful how far down that road you go if you're trying to work at companies that would be looking you up to begin with.
Yes. Yes you are.
Your average HR lackey isn't going to go full 4chan stalker into you. Doubly so if you also have accounts tied to your name that you very occasionally post very, very mundane things on. They're not going to go looking deeper when they find your Facebook and see you're just wishing gamgam a happy birthday
Actual HR people seem to disagree with you-

So... they google your name, and said that specifically for a marketing role they want to see if you're good at selling yourself through your social media profile.
Obviously they google my name. My point is they're not going to go through and try to connect username after username after username to find forum posts from 2009 or some shit.
Just one example-

I don't exactly see what that has to do with searching for peoples names or anything. Just that they accidentally CC'd him when talking about rejecting him.
They fucked up, didn't send him the interview time, then didn't hire him because he didn't show up to an interview he didn't know about. It's fucked, but not exactly relevant to this discussion.
It's commonly known now though that most employers will look through anything you've posted publicly online these days though. Regardless of what you put on your resume there's nothing stopping them from doing a Google search for your name. In this case where the post has now garnered attention on news sites an employer wouldn't even have to go into her social media, since this is just up on multiple news sites forever now
