Social media check
Social media checks leverage publicly available sources to evaluate and flag any adverse content posted by, or associated with, a candidate. These checks focus on factors such as racism, sexism, hate speech, drug use, general criminality, and other risk categories that may indicate unsuitability for the position or incompatibility with your organisation’s culture and values.
