Ahh the hidden internet! MySpace profiles, datings sites you name it! Add in a business and movie idea for sourcers too.

To coincide with my rant about video resumes, video profiles and how they aren’t the best idea (especially for the MySpace “Oh man you were so blazed last night” quote right next their resume crowd), I came across a great article from MobileWirelessJobs.com

Mobile Recruiters Discover Passive Talent From The “Hidden” Internet And Sometimes A Whole Lot More

This is an interesting article about how sources work and what they can find. I was speaking with Rob Solerno and he talked about the amazing response he got from the article from people who were worried or asking questions.

Here’s a business idea – $1000.00 for an internet cleansing, a person contacts you to have you go out and find absolutely everything about them on the internet and then you go about “cleansing” their online profile to clean it up. Who knows, maybe it would need to cost more and the government might not be a big fan either.

Now here’s a movie idea – A dedicated, hard working, little crazy, sourcer/sanitizer guy (we’ll call him Dave Mendoza, or Shally, or Rob Solerno) is in the business of cleaning up online profiles for the yucksters who spent their early days doing all sorts of things online and they are making a great amount of money doing it. Their setup is extreme with constant flashes to meetings and hard work of sanitizing profiles and then having catchy lines like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Eraser of “You’ve been erased” when they come across the shady gang of criminals who aren’t just trying to clean their profiles but eliminate any trace of their “enemies”. At first the sanitizers think that they just have clients who are paying a whopping amount of money for their work and are a little over zealous in what they want cleansed but the innocent sanitizer then gets wrapped in to a fight for his/her life to escape the “human erasers” before he/she gets erased themselves.

The twist? Who knows, it could be that the “innocent sanitizer” turns into the criminal by “erasing” the people that are chasing him, profiles, lives and all.
