Looking for a Job? Clean up that profile!
I’ve been saying this for a long time…
When you’re in the job market, you need to make sure that you’re managing your online image. Including your social media profiles!
As one of the region’s leading technology staffing and recruiting firms, we work with some of the area’s most talented IT professionals. It still surprises me when someone who’s been in the workforce for a while and has a career in technology keeps less than flattering information on their Facebook profiles!
Businesses are increasingly using Facebook & other social networks for marketing – and recruiting. In fact, we just launched a full-on social media recruiting campaign for a large, national financial firm. So, it’s no shock that 70% of recruiters have denied someone based on information they found online.
I’m happy to see that we’re not the only ones signaling the alarm anymore!
