# Research Candidate Profiles

In competitive hiring, a resume only tells part of the story. A candidate's social media presence reveals how they think publicly, what communities they engage with, whether they contribute to open-source projects, and how they present themselves professionally. This context helps hiring managers make more informed decisions.

The Social Profiles tool pulls LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram data for candidates, giving you a quick overview of their professional identity beyond the application. You can see whether they are active in relevant communities, whether their public persona aligns with your company culture, and what kind of thought leadership they contribute.

This workflow is used by recruiters, hiring managers, and talent acquisition teams during the screening process. It supplements traditional resume review with real-world context about how candidates engage with their professional community.
