I can only speak from interviewing candidates at a big corp, but generally HR shortlists a bunch of candidates, schedules interviews then send me the resume about 16hr before the actual interview.

I’ve never come across a candidate where anyone has dug into someone’s online presence prior to an interview.

And to be honest, I’d rather speak to the person that read something they wrote.

But again, that’s big corp so obviously other companies might do it differently.
