Get the profile: Managing your online reputation
When it comes to managing your online reputation, what’s the difference between your professional and social profile? For many recruiters (whether agencies or direct employers) there is no real difference and both are ripe for the plucking and a very valid way to accept or reject a potential hire.
You’d be surprised how many employers and recruiters use online searches or social networking sites to screen potential employees. According to recent research carried out in the UK, 77% of recruiters use search engines to screen out candidates, while 25% of hiring managers themselves use search engines to do the same job.
In this guide we provide advice and guidance on how to monitor what is being said about you; how to clean up your online reputation and how social media and the Internet generally can be a benefit to your career plans.
