That's rarely possible anymore.
I guess me and most of the people I know are rare
Yes. Yes you are.
It's also considered a red flag to have no online presence, so be careful how far down that road you go if you're trying to work at companies that would be looking you up to begin with.
Your average HR lackey isn't going to go full 4chan stalker into you. Doubly so if you also have accounts tied to your name that you very occasionally post very, very mundane things on. They're not going to go looking deeper when they find your Facebook and see you're just wishing gamgam a happy birthday
Actual HR people seem to disagree with you-

So... they google your name, and said that specifically for a marketing role they want to see if you're good at selling yourself through your social media profile.
Obviously they google my name. My point is they're not going to go through and try to connect username after username after username to find forum posts from 2009 or some shit.
Just one example-

I don't exactly see what that has to do with searching for peoples names or anything. Just that they accidentally CC'd him when talking about rejecting him.
They fucked up, didn't send him the interview time, then didn't hire him because he didn't show up to an interview he didn't know about. It's fucked, but not exactly relevant to this discussion.
