11th Hour Recruitment Horrors Avoidable With Reputation Management
June 14, 2011 | 
Author Professional Recruitment Consultants worth their salt go through rigorous Candidate preparation throughout any placement process. This includes advising the Candidate on interview techniques, coaching on environment specifics, and how to handle ‘the counter-offer’.

FIFA Prove Existence of Parallel Universe
Contemporary physicists have proposed a theory of the multiverse: that our universe is just one of many. Sceptics of the theory only need only look at FIFA and its president Sepp Blatter to realise that there must be some truth to the theory, because whatever universe Sepp Blatter inhabits, it is certainly not this one. FIFA has long been byword for corruption, back-handers, opaque processes and the steady drip of scandal. Even by their tawdry standards, this last week has been utterly awful with senior members suspended and now the most farcical of “elections” with just one candidate planned for this Wednesday.

If US Sites Ignore The UK Law, Ban The Sites
Most people who comment as bogus or anonymous users don’t think they’ll ever be caught out or held responsible for their comments. Louis Bacon, an American billionaire hedge fund manager has received the go-ahead from a London high court to force three websites to disclose the identities of his alleged defamers, the Guardian reports.
Doctors’ reputation and online reviews
From restaurants to hotels there are reviews for just about everything and doctors are no exception. There are millions of critics eager to post their last night experience about a chicken dish or grumble about a lethargic service and they will find a place to post them. Similarly websites like ratemd.com or angislist.com is a place where users post comments about their physicians. A Doctor will have hundreds of happy patients, but it only takes one bad review to trash a Doctor’s online reputation.

Social Media if not handled properly can wreck your reputation
In this era when everything is decided online and just a click away, social media is one such thing that comes as handy. One negative review if failed to deal with can give you nightmares. A recent survey conducted in the UK reveals how major companies believe that Social networking is a ‘big issue and a potential risk to their brand and reputation.
Reputation Management For.com has noted an interesting factor, that most companies do not have a social media button or twitter streams on their websites. Companies fail to realize that social media is more than marketing since this medium determines key business judgments today.
Something that comes quickly to the mind is the Vodafone twitter gaffe, and how a customer service staff by mistake posted an obscene message on the company’s twitter account. This caused the company to issue an apology to thousands of its followers. Though Vodafone acted quickly and deleted the tweet, but users were quicker and saved a copy and circulated it on the internet. The point is one wrong move and it spreads like wild-fire on social media. So this is one example to say how companies need to ascertain to counter and monitor social media.

How Social networking sites influence search engine results
To rank first on major search engines is an objective most internet marketers and websites look for. Most of the companies optimize their websites to get on that first page of search engine results to invite visitors to their website. But is there anything other than SEO to get there?
Well, there are the Social Networking sites, and there’s enough evidence that SNS influences search engines. What happens, for example, when you have a facebook site with 10,000 fans and as many ‘likes’? Do they show up high on search engines?
There’s no doubt that Google closely monitors social media data with real-time Twitter updates integrated into searches. Now how they use it is a different story and it’s very hard to say because strong social media popularity usually converts high ranking on search engines. It’s a clear indication that Google uses it to determine what a trusted source is and this was something they had mentioned long time back.

How do Google Search results with ‘Hide’ option affect Reputation Management & SEO?
Google introduced ‘hide’ option to personalized searches in March 2011 and this is what the Google blog had to say to explain…
You’ve probably had the experience where you’ve clicked a result and it wasn’t quite what you were looking for. Many times you’ll head right back to Google. Perhaps the result just wasn’t quite right, but sometimes you may dislike the site in general, whether it’s offensive, pornographic or of generally low quality. For times like these, you’ll start seeing a new option to block particular domains from your future search results. Now when you click a result and then return to Google, you’ll find a new link next to “Cached” that reads “Block all example.com results.”
At quick glance, you get the sense that Google’s giving up control to the user, so that one can manage blocked sites, control pornographic sites and spam from regular searches.
So far so good, but then, as with all personalized searches, it is all left to the discretion of the user; to his/her ability to discern what is good or bad, right or wrong, radical or moderate, revolutionary or extremist and so on. Herein lies the main problem with personalized searches and being prompted to read what you seem to be inclined to do based on several criteria in your online history logged in from an account. This being the case, having the option to block out everything from a site is quite akin to wearing blinkers online. Read the rest of this entry »
