Nine sample candidates from the vendor's reports
Each case shows a different way a social-media signal can mislead. Scores are compared with the same 1,000-applicant pool: the vendor’s shortlist line is 63.3, and after the review it is 64 (aptitude test only). All candidates are fictional.
Flagged for low discipline because she posts after midnight.
Flagged for aggressive language. It was cricket banter in Hinglish.
Scored low on culture fit. The score was driven by her Eid posts.
Flagged as a lifestyle risk. The profile belongs to a different Rahul Sharma.
Marked down for 'insufficient data'. She does not use social media.
Flagged as a controversy risk. A friend tagged him in a protest photo.
Rated a high attrition risk because of an engagement announcement.
Predicted not to join because he is preparing for CAT.
Lifted above the line by followers, English posts and Kestrel connections.
