Yes, there are many senior professionals who have minimal digital footprint. Some possible reasons are:
* Working in one company for 20+ years and not needing to market themselves externally.
* Working in a regulated industry (banking, finance, insurance) where social media presence is frowned upon.
* Working in a niche where everybody knows everybody else already.
* Working in a government organization where keeping a low profile is expected.
* Being a specialist career contractor signed to an umbrella company or recruitment agency who does all their marketing on their behalf.
Thus, a small or nil online presence is not in and of itself a red flag. However, in all of the above cases, this low profile is mitigated by having alternative channels for finding work. If you aren’t already in that network, you need to find a way to demonstrate your experience.
