Unvarnished: Lastest in online reputation management

Posted on : 06-05-2010 | By : Sarah Thomas | In : Carve Consulting Blog, Corporate Social Networks, Graduate Recruitment, LinkedIn, Recruitment 2.0, Social Recruiting, online reputation management

So, what do we all think of the new website Unvarnished? Described as a cross between LinkedIn and Yelp it allows anonymous reviews of your personal professional reputation.

unvarnished

For those who have decided to keep their ‘personal’ social networking profiles (Facebook, MySpace etc) separate from their professional profiles (LinkedIn, Xing etc) this will make it increasingly hard.

What’s interesting is that anyone can add a profile about themselves or anyone else (you can go in and ‘claim’ your profile if one already exists).

We’ve had quite a bit of debate on this blog in the past about how potential and current employers use Facebook but this throws up so many more issues.

I’d love to know your opinion.

Would you use this to create your own profile?

How would you respond if someone posted something negative about you?

Would you post comments about people you’ve worked with in the past?

Would you use it to research a potential employee?

  • This is really a nice content.Those who want to build an online presence in response to specific events.This provide a good knowledge.Keep it up.
  • i would find it insteresting for research purposes but i probably wouldn't post anything negative about anyone else, i try and avoid that in general, bad karma me thinks! i don't event have a google alert set for myself because i don't want to know what others think of me :(
  • I think that the general idea of rating people is interesting. I haven't seen unvarnished yet so I don't know exactly what its about but from the description it sounds like a more job-focused version of http://www.dirtyphonebook.com where you rate peoples jobs instead of their personal secrets. I'm easy-going though so I wouldn't care too much if somebody wrote something negative about me because I KNOW my real-life friends wouldn't believe anything about me they hear.
