Managing your on-line Reputation

Your on-line reputation and profile is something you need to track vigilantly as it has the capacity to reach far and wide within and outside of your organization. Headhunters rely on information regarding a candidate’s reputation and they often do extensive background research in order to substantiate their findings. “These days we also review a short listed candidate’s profile in sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and other social networking sites in addition to other background information we seek” says Bernadette Themas, Consulting Director of BTI Consultants.

17 September - 30 September 2009 (Issue 41)

Many senior executives are still not clued on to this medium and underestimate the power of this channel - information on the Internet moves faster and reaches a much larger audience. “When we work with senior executives, we usually advise them to also review their on-line profiles” adds Bernadette Themas. Here are some aspects of your on-line reputation that you need to be aware of:

What Search Engines Pick Up Google yourself regularly. Run searches on yourself as this will give you an opportunity to see what news about you is being tracked. Even if you cannot change it, you can prepare yourself for questions that may be asked. You can also ask for information to be removed or you can flood other relevant information about you on the net so that any negative feedback comes lower in a search.

Watch What You Say Monitor what you say; anything you say on the net is permanent, so be aware that it can come back to “bite” you. If you are making any comments on-line make sure that it enhances your profile. Join groups and discussion threads that can add to your profile, as well as associations/groups that you are physically a part of; the net community also shows up your personality and interests. Choose where you want to be seen and who you want to be seen with. Enhance your online identity by updating your profile to add your accomplishments and your expertise, this way you come up in searches on areas that you want to be known for. Make sure you are easy to find and come up in the searches you want to be seen in. Have an opinion, share it, especially if you feel strongly abut something but steer away from gossip and speculation.

On-line Community Not only can you become a part of different communities that support your career aspirations and interests, you can also have followers. Sites like twitter do exactly that, and by choosing to follow someone prominent you can boost your follower profile. A friend tested this out and he had more than a thousand followers within ten days. The power and reach of this community is awesome especially if you have a message to share and are building your profile. Another friend who attended an event the evening before received a message the next morning commenting on his tie... he was tagged and his photo appeared that evening on Facebook. People also discuss what you do and how you do it on-line in their own blogs, chat rooms and social networking sites - it pays to think about the repercussions of your action before doing something and its impact on you and your organization. Your on-line reputation is important and in some ways even more transparent on-line. If you are embarking on an initiative for your company that is likely to spin negative feedback, talk to your public relations agency on how to manage or influence the on-line community as well.

What Other People Say About You Headhunters pick up information on what others say about you. Sites like LinkedIn include recommendations to share what others think about you and their experience of you. It is easy to pick out the ones that have been “staged” versus the ones that are genuine. Also take note of what your children are saying about you on their Facebook profiles and the pictures they are putting up of you. Many people find out what their friends are doing by asking their children who are connected to their friends’ children on-line. Another friend attended an interview and the interviewer commented on her holiday in Bahamas. She then realized that the interviewer had been to check out her profile on the net. What strikes me most is the fact that people put up all these pictures of themselves and are shocked that someone picks them up… what were they thinking in the first place… of course it will be seen by everyone…that is the power of the net. Every time you update your profile or your pictures, messages go out to your community to let them know that you have made some updates. Review the photos that you get tagged to, there is no privacy these days and if you are out with friends partying, these photos sometimes can make their way into someone’s Facebook for example. You can of course ask them to un-tag it but this can only happen if you are monitoring your profile. If you have teenage children, ask them to do it for you. All this gives the prospective employer/headhunter a peek into your lifestyle and how that would support or take away from your work choices. Social networking sites have an impact on your reputation; create a positive on-line presence as these sites are being trawled by head hunters and prospective employers.

Contacts You never know who is in touch with whom and it is quite amazing to see the web of relationships online. A person really quiet at work, who keeps to himself, may have a contact base of over 500 people on-line. Some of these people may include ex-employees who work with competitors. Information is no longer exclusive and the chances of it getting leaked out are very high. Some statistics show that information leaks have increased almost by 90% within organizations in the last two years. Stay connected instead of shutting this medium out, this way you can at least keep track on what is going on out there. It also means making the time to update your profile, and track the communities that you choose to be a part of. It is not uncommon to reach contacts or people you know across the globe in a day. This is something that we need to be actively driving. It can increase the net worth of an individual and if you are pursuing opportunities overseas, you can travel overseas via the net even before you physically get there. Also make it a discipline to include the people you meet into your community by inviting them to join your group. This gives you access to target audience with a touch of a button. There are on-line tools that help you track your reputation and build your personal brand online. Many senior executives are not active in managing their on-line profile after adding the cursory data; some even view it as something they need to avoid as it invades their privacy. It is not possible to shut this channel out anymore, instead we need to embrace it and work out a way to use this medium to support us in what we do. This brings us to a very important point of how you treat people on a day-to-day basis, as this will filter into the net. There is no point in creating an impressive on-line persona when one’s behavior off-line is not congruent to this. Active users of the net are people who demand transparency and congruence in what people say and do. Your on-line identity is not separate from your identity off-line; the divide between the two are merging and your on-line identity should be seen as an extension of you.

Dear Hays Jobs Doctor, I’d appreciate your thoughts on making sure I have a workforce ready to take advantage of the change in recent economic conditions. Regards, David Loh. Dear David, Preparation now will help a business take full advantage of the economic reversal and is a savvy move. Such preparation gives you a real lead over competitors that are slower to reinforce their ranks, and can help you retain or gain a leading position in your market. We suggest you look at the skills you’ll need to be ready for the upturn. In short, this means examining where you are heading and comparing this to the skills you employ now. This will enable you to identify any gaps between your current and future workforce requirements. You can then attract the skills you need to grow your business. Attraction of the best people at all levels is essential. Of course, once you have your workforce in place, don’t forget about retention. Your people really are your best resource, so act accordingly. Benefits, flexibility and development all play a part here. Training and development are particularly important so your employees are ready for the upturn. Customer service and sales might be areas of training worth consideration, depending on your business goals. Investing in your employees’ skills development enables them to be the best they can be, which has obvious rewards for your business. Honest communication with staff is always important, but perhaps more so at this time. The communication of clear strategic action plans can boost confidence and morale amongst employees. Transparency helps foster a feeling of staff involvement. But make sure communication flows both way and allow employees to communicate back to you, such as through staff satisfaction surveys. Good luck, Chris Mead General Manager Hays Singapore
