Before a client retains you, they search you. What do they find?
Reputation Management for Job Seekers
Your reputation is being read before your proposal is.
Recruiters search your name before offering an interview. Don't let an old mistake, social media post, or outdated headline block your next career step.
The Moment of Truth: Every Search Decides intake
A prospect is deciding between three options. The credentials are identical. The fees are comparable. So they search each name on Google. In under sixty seconds, they form a judgment. Not based on track record, but entirely on what Google decided to show them. One result is clean. Two are not. The client goes to the first. The other two never find out-but it keeps happening.

Case study
The Graduate and the Incident That Followed Him Online
An old local incident article jumped back to Page 1 in time to sink a final-round offer, with almost no positive identity online. The work gave recruiters a current, professional story that outranked a tired headline.

Case study
The Senior Product Manager and the Glassdoor Problem
After layoffs, named Glassdoor and forum threads lingered in screening searches ahead of a strong LinkedIn. The case focused on displaceable surfaces and a refreshed public CV that could carry weight in results.

Case study
HR & Employment Dispute Reputation Management
A public wrongful-termination story spread across social and review sites, and clients froze new engagements. The plan moved attention back to a verified, owned narrative the consultant could stand behind in search.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can employers see my old social media posts in search results?
Potentially yes. Public content from Twitter/X, Facebook, and older LinkedIn posts can appear in Google results for your name. Deleting or making content private reduces visibility, but for older indexed content, suppression may also be needed to push it off page one.
What if there is a news article about me from years ago?
Old news articles are one of the most common reputation problems for job seekers. Some can be removed through publisher outreach or privacy requests. Where removal is not possible, suppression is the most effective approach. We rank stronger positive profiles and content above the article so it stops being the first thing people find.
How fast can you help if I have an interview soon?
If you have an interview in the near term, we can begin immediately. Some quick wins - improving LinkedIn ranking, claiming key profiles, pushing down lower-authority negative results can show results within 2-4 weeks. Stronger negative content takes longer to suppress.
Can you help if I just need my LinkedIn to rank higher?
Yes, and this is actually one of the more straightforward things we do. LinkedIn ranks exceptionally well on Google, often appearing in the top three results for a person's name. If yours is not showing up where it should, it usually comes down to how the profile is set up, how complete it is, and whether it has enough authority signals pointing to it. We audit your profile, optimise it for search, and where needed, build supporting content that pushes it up. If you want LinkedIn to be the first thing someone sees when they search your name, that is a very achievable goal.
