Hey hunters 👋, I’m Stepan, from Hexact. Have you ever spent time checking Google and social media to find out more about potential hires or folks you meet to understand more about who they are and what they are up to online? Well, we built a tool for this internally for our own hiring needs, and today I’m excited to announce the public launch of Candidate Checker. With Candidate Checker, you can discover anyone's social media and online community profiles in seconds. Perfect for busy founders and HR teams 🚀. Give it a try and let us know your feedback!

@saslanyan @katerina_kurshina Same here. Do you have any idea of how I would be able to go about getting those things removed?

Not going to lie, as a privacy advocate I kind of hate that this exists. I'm sure this can be a wonderful tool for those assessing candidates, but I wish we could create a culture where people's need to work didn't infringe on their desire to lead a private life outside of work. Also, when it tested it, it doesn't seem to be working properly. Most of the results returned for the email that I tested were incorrect and not at all connected to the email that I provided. Tools that make it easier to infringe on privacy aren't the kind of things I want to send to the top of ProductHunt personally. Congratulations on the launch despite this and recognize that this is just, like, my opinion man.

Just gave this a try, and it's an interesting idea. I don't like the idea of companies checking social media of employees but they can if they want I guess. However, it brought up completely unrelated profiles for my test emails that I tried! It seems like the attempts to match are based on the username being the same as the email? So if I put in the email is for example jake@example.com, it comes up with all the `jake` usernames it can find, which are not at all associated to the email. If I got rejected from a company because they had found and acted on social media or things that weren't actually me, I'd be absolutely fuming. I guess I would be more mad at the company for falling for it, but the tool plays a part too. If I were hiring and saw this I would likely realise it wasn't the person, but that then also takes away the point of using this tool. Are there other options to correlate the email with accounts? Or maybe like a rating of the correlation?

@jknlsn This tool is just to shortlist the profiles that still have to be checked manually, and if the person in charge can't identify the right accounts then he/she can do the same without any tool, and it is not a secret that companies check the candidates behaviour in the web. By the way people used to register in social networks using their personal emails and usually it is their nicknames, so emails will look like jake.nelson@gmail.com

Completely same experience. All are irrelevant profiles on 10 emails I checked. Absolutely useless as gives just random results. Takes email, extracts username and crawls 10 social networks. Great PoC, but nothing works really:)
