Recruiters: What's the weirdest thing you've found when Googling a candidate?

Recruiters

Not asking about criminal records or anything extreme.

I'm talking about things like:

  • Old social media posts
  • Public comments
  • Forgotten blogs
  • Embarrassing usernames
  • Outdated information

How often do online search results actually influence hiring decisions?
