“This phenomenon is more inclined in Asia Pacific countries, which stands out as a hot spot with approximately half (51 percent) of the employees involving their social media network for employment decisions.
“This is significantly higher than Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) (34 percent) and the Americas (a combination of North and South America) (30 percent),” he said in a statement in Kuala Lumpur today.
