What is a Social Media check?
Our Social Media Check is a valuable tool for evaluating a candidate's online presence and identifying any publicly accessible content that may indicate undesirable behavior. This check is conducted across popular social media platforms, examining posts, comments, photos, and other visible interactions for content that could pose a reputational risk to the organisation. Examples of undesirable content include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, violent or offensive posts, or other material that may conflict with the company's values and code of conduct.
To ensure ethical compliance, the Social Media Check is conducted only on publicly available information, and is performed with the candidate's consent. The process does not involve logging into the candidate's social media accounts, nor does it require any private login details, safeguarding the candidate’s privacy and respecting their personal boundaries. By focusing on publicly accessible content, the check aligns with legal and privacy standards while providing organisations with a clearer picture of a candidate's potential fit within the company culture.
Each flagged item is carefully reviewed by a trained analyst to eliminate false positives, such as similarly named accounts or posts taken out of context. This additional layer of human analysis ensures that only relevant and accurately interpreted findings are reported. This approach balances technological efficiency with human judgment, enabling organizations to make informed hiring decisions without compromising fairness or privacy.
