On a post I did last week, Don’t Hide your Company Culture, Flaunt It!, I received some interesting comments & discussion on where candidates actually go when researching a company to get a feel for how it would be to work there.  Do they go to the company’s Career Site?  Do they search on Twitter?  Do they reach out to an employee on LinkedIn?  Do they look the company up on…
