What is a Social Media check?

Social Media checks identify a candidate’s online presence to look for negative behaviours such as bullying, racism, nudity and excessive bad language. It also identifies potential privacy issues, such as leaking information, and content that could potentially damage your organisation’s reputation.

Social Media checks also look at affiliations with proscribed organisations and groups linked to violence or extremism and how widely a candidate is connected. The risks posed by their connections, and any endorsement of illegal activity such as drugs, theft, weapons and fraud are all presented in a final report. Allowing you, the employer, to make an informed and objective decision.

Our professional Social Media check does this all in a fully compliant, and objective way. So that you can ensure that the report you get back from us can be used, alongside our other services, to identify any potential risks with the candidate.
