To analyze the question, we first restate what is being asked: what trend in recruitment practices is illustrated by the finding that many employers screen candidates' social media for negative online engagements before hiring?
Option 1: Traditional resumes are becoming obsolete. This overstates the impact of social media screening. While digital information influences decisions, resumes still play a role in evaluation and screening processes; there is no blanket claim that resumes are obsolete.
Option 2: Employers are becoming more privacy-conscious. This implication is inconsistent with the act of conducting social media checks. If anything, conducting screenings suggests a willingness to look outside traditional channels, not an emphasis on privacy.
Option 3: Digital presence is increasingly part of candidate evaluation. This answer aligns with the described practice: employers are incorporating how a candidate appears online, including social media behavior, into their overall assessment.
Option 4: Social media skills are now job requirements. The practice described focuses on screening for negative engagements, not on requiring specific social media skills as a job criterion. It’s about monitoring what exists online, rather than formalizing social media competency as a requirement of the role.
In terms of the underlying concept, option 3 captures the broad shift toward evaluating a candidate’s online footprint as part of the hiring process, which reflects how a digital presence intersects with traditional assessment cues. The other options mischaracterize or overgeneralize the role of social media in hiring decisions, either by claiming obsolescence, a privacy pushback, or asserting explicit skill requirements that aren’t directly implied by screening for negative online engagements.
Overall, the reasoning supports interpreting the trend as an increasing integration of a candidate’s digital presence into evaluation practices, rather than redefining resumes, privacy norms, or job requirements in isolation.
