That is a very rare instance, but it has happened. I had a guy apply out of the military, and he worked on highly classified projects (programmer). I thought he was full of it from the start, but when I called for verification, All that they would tell me were his dates of service, his highest rank, and that he had top secret clearance. He had absolutely no social media, and told us so in the interview. We didn't hire him, as there were better applicant's (or appliCAN) applicants (or appliCANs) if you prefer.

So it does happen, but almost all have them.

applicant's (or appliCAN)

this doesn't work if you use correct grammar. when becoming plural, most singular nouns don't require an apostrophe.

And, you are correct. Should be applicants.

With my last application with a law enforcement agency they just accused me of hiding something during the whole interview. I even reactivated my old Facebook to show them. I've since completely deleted my FB and started removing information from data brokers. Also supplying fake information in random places. I figure if a company/agency can't respect privacy of an employee they probably don't respect privacy of a customer/civilian. That's not somewhere I want to work.

Appreciate the suggestion, but been there done that. I was a cop, have been a personal security too. Getting my degree to move on up in the world. I know what it's like. I've "ratted" on people before, hence why I'm no longer working there. I gave them an opportunity to fix themselves, and they didn't take it. My direct leadership loved me. No babysitting. I was protected for awhile, but maybe it's cause I wasn't a Mason. I don't put up with bullshit that makes cops look bad. I'm also no longer applying with LE agencies. That last application was a year ago. I'm focused on non municipal/state police agencies and maybe a private security firm if I can start out above Mall Cop position.

I have zero social media that is connected in any way to my corporate-world identity. I've actually had employers tell me that they tried to find me and couldn't. I usually say 'I place a high value on privacy.' It wasn't an issue the last time I was job hunting.
