Didn't Get That New Job? You Need a Better Facebook Score | WIRED
Summary
The company pulls data not only from LinkedIns business-centric social network, but also from Facebook, Twitter, and even GitHub profiles, building what it calls a "job fit score." In a conversation with Wired, Reppify CEO Chirag Nangia downplayed the importance of the metrics, saying he sees this data as only "part of the hiring process." Passed by Congress in 1970, the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) allows companies to purchase personal consumer information for business purposes. Another San Francisco startup, Identified, offers a similar tool for both HR departments and job seekers that pulls data solely from Facebook. "Were trying to provide very context-specific results, so were hesitant to give someone an absolute score," Parker Barrile, LinkedIns head of hiring solutions products, told Wired.
