Your CV gets you noticed. Your social media gets you hired - or rejected. 

In this episode, we dive into the growing reality that your social media presence is part of the job application process. 

I’m joined by Susie Thomson, founder of Security Watchdog, and Martin Hardy, founder of Right2Socials, to discuss how and why employers screen candidates online, and what they’re really looking for when they check your feeds. 

We cover: 

• Why social media checks are now routine in recruitment 

• How to clean up your existing posts (and what actually needs removing) 

• Common mistakes and hidden traps that can hurt your reputation 

• The real consequences of an unprofessional digital footprint 

Make sure your online presence works for you, not against you.
