  • 92% of employers check the applicants' LinkedIn profiles
  • 66% of employers check the applicants' Facebook pages
  • 53% check out candidates' Twitter profiles
Social influence metrics, such as Klout, are increasingly being used by employers as another way to gauge applicants. Do you closely monitor your Klout score? If not, maybe you should...

This infographic takes a closer look at how your social score could help you land a job.
