DID YOU KNOW? π€
Employers (past, current, future) and business associates are looking at your behaviour online. This impacts decisions to hire you, use your brand or place responsibilities in your hands.
Based on research by CareerBuilder, Social Media Due Diligence has grown by 500% in a space of 10 years.
According to Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM), further analysis of this research reveals that - of the 59% of hiring managers who used social media to research candidates, nearly 49% found information that impacted the candidates negatively.
Some of the information found include provocative & inappropriate content, abusive expressions, cyber bullying, discriminatory comments relating to race, gender, nationality etc.
The truth is people are watching the way you behave online for reasons that far transcend hiring.
Is Social Media Due Diligence ethical? There are schools of thought for & against this trend. But here's the deal - it continues regardless. People will always look you up.
The big question is;
What do you want them to find? If you looked back in the next five or ten years, would you be proud?
Think about this!
