At this summer’s SHRM (Society for Human Resources Management) Conference, Bing and CareerBuilder announced a partnership to create the CareerBuilder Applicant Explorer. According to CareerBuilder, the tool combs information from CB’s database of 31 million resumes and combines it with indexed online content from Bing. It allows employers to search the Web for potential employees’ social networking profiles, blogs, news articles, and forum posts, and is available free of charge to employers who use CareerBuilder’s Resume Database Service.
But fear not, Reputation.com was also at SHRM, seeking new ways to protect individual jobseekers’ good names on the Web. With MyReputation, we provide a deep-dive search that shows where your name is on the web beyond Bing’s indexed search results. If you find something unflattering, you can take advantage of our destroy services to remove damaging content before you apply for a job. You could also subscribe to MyEdge to make sure that employers find the information YOU want them to see when they search you on Bing.
With over 83% of hiring managers using search engines to research candidates, and 43% of them admitting to eliminating candidates based on negative information that they find, monitoring your online reputation has become a necessity. CareerBuilder’s Applicant Explorer makes HR managers’ access to your online info easier, so make sure to try MyReputation and MyEdge to ensure that you get a top-notch job offer. Don’t forget, 24% of hiring managers said that they found information that solidified their decision to make a hire.
