I think, in Tech, it doesn't matter because we tend to be more privacy concise. Some of co-workers have never created any social media and accounts and nothing shows up for them when you search for them.

But in other fields it might be different story. My wife is a recruiter for a large hospital. She has told me that while this is not official but usually if an applicant doesn't have social media profile, they usually move to bottom of the list. Most of the recruiters are young there, and they find it weird/suspicious that someone is not easily searchable.

My wife's recommendation is to at least, have a profile with picture and hide everything else.

However, for senior positions, they don't usually care so much for profiles as most of applicants applying for those positions don't really have any social media profiles.
