While expecting the Data Privacy Day on January 28, a research has been released by Microsoft in which it is shown that how the indiscreet kind of publication of the information over the internet can save the users of Internet from getting any jobs. As according to the survey which was taken in the month of December and consisted of 2,500 consumers, the managers of the human resource as well as the recruitment professionals and also 70 percent of the respondents from the United States have said that they have rejected the applicants of the job just because of the information that was found through the online search. Among the consumers present in the U.S. it has been believed by only 7 percent of them that the online data has affected their efforts for their hiring.

Peter Cullen, who is the chief strategist of the privacy at Microsoft Corp., has said in one interview that we are actually very much surprised by these findings. He further said that while it is not been expected for the professionals of the human resource for conducting the searches online about the applicants of job, the level to which it has becomes the commonplace and also formalized in corporate policy must ask the people for revisiting their assumptions about the repute online.
