Social Media Checks
The new Security Watchdog Social Media Check is a powerful new tool designed to assess an individual’s online profile, looking for evidence of any adverse online behaviour that may present a risk to a prospective employer.
The report provides an assessment of the individual’s online profile with a score for privacy and content. This report has sections for specific adverse traits or behaviours that are typically important for employers. After the offer of employment it becomes an important part of any pre-employment screening, successful completion of which the ultimate decision to hire will be made. This enables employers to avoid hiring an individual who’s behaviour or publicly shared opinion could have a detrimental effect on the business reputation, or worse.
It is important to note that this report is only run as part of a pre-employment screening process post offer and is not a tool to be used for general assessment in the recruitment process.
