Is it worth hiding pages on social networks from HRs?

Hello, recently at a seminar, a speaker spoke a little about the fact that he without fail looks through the pages on social networks of job seekers before hiring them.
I'm interested in how an experienced manager or HR will think if they don't find my page on a search query, for example, in VK?
Initially, it seemed to me a reasonable idea to change the name and hide everything, everything, everything, become completely confidential, but wouldn’t it scare the employer away on the contrary?
What if, for example, he finds a page, and instead of a photo there is a simple picture with cats, and reposts from peek-a-boo (for example) on the wall?
I could, in principle, create a "neutral" page: upload photos, leave a couple of posts on the wall about "how to cook deliciously" or "how to fish" and leave it all like that, but I don't really want to leave my own on the servers of the same VK intelligence. If there are sane people, please convince the paranoid)

Absence of a social media page networks for many executives and HR managers,
will soon serve as a disadvantage when choosing an applicant
than an advantage, there's nothing to be done - current trends.

Do you have social networks such pages that can adversely affect employment?

Didn't find what you were looking for?
