> Rule #2: Take a long hard look at a candidate’s social profiles.
Is not having a LinkedIn account going to come back to bite me, even when applying for dev roles? I've had even senior devs at popular local dev shops say LinkedIn is a "necessary evil" because it:
1. is easy to grep
2. you can find whether a candidate has similar connections to you
3. recommendations
I get New Zealand is small and the social graph for LinkedIn can be well utilised because of this but I just don't want a LinkedIn account. Is a traditional CV so bad?
