Social Media Checks
The Check
Our Social Media Check is a powerful new screening tool designed to assess a candidate’s social media profile over a 2, 3 or 5 year period by data mining social media platforms for evidence of adverse or unacceptable on-line behaviour that may present a risk to a prospective employer’s brand.
The Benefits
The Social Media Report complements traditional pre-employment and employment screening by highlighting if an individual’s social media activities are:
- potentially brand and reputation damaging*
- a validation of career history on a CV*
- showcasing undesirable characteristics*
- encouraging illegal activities*
- breaching company policy
- leaking or likely to leak company confidential information
- likely to have an impact on client relations

*The report should only be run as a part of a pre-employment screening process (post offer) and is not to be used for general candidate assessment in the recruitment process.
