Social Media Screening

Social media screening is one of the most efficient ways to leverage web and social data to maintain policy at each stage of the employee lifecycle.

Pre-employment social media screening offers insights into an applicant's online conduct, aligning with a company's code of conduct, values, and social media policy.

Post-hire or random screenings uncover behaviors misaligned with organizational values. Despite interview impressions, a social media check reveals additional facets of an applicant's character.

90 - 98%
of employers use social media to screen candidates.
79%
of HR professionals have denied a candidate due to inappropriate social media content.

Social media screening targets posts most relevant to business leaders, including presidents, CEOs, HR, and security professionals.

  • Intolerance
  • Harassment
  • Sexually Explicit Content
  • Criminal Behavior
  • Illegal Drugs
  • Potential Violence

Integrating social media screening with your background checks boosts your vetting efficiency, leading to a safer workforce.

Don’t risk your company’s hard-earned reputation!
