Social Media Screening

Gain insights into your candidate's online presence.

Social media background checking for employment is a broad search of publicly available social media profiles. It helps surface potentially risky online content on potential hires and current employees. Social media screening may help detect potentially risky content and determine a person's character by verifying that they do not post defamatory, hostile, derogatory, or coarse content.
