Automated Social Media Checks

Why undertake Social Media Checks?

Our software returns an auditable report within the hour.

Our solution searches both public and private posts across the major social media platforms using machine learning and algorithms, eliminating the need for manual searching or the possibility of unconscious bias.

Social media checks can only be made with the consent of an individual, making it GDPR compliant.

Why undertake social media checks?

Social media is under scrutiny more than ever with studies showing an individual’s online behaviour is a reflection of how they behave offline.

Social Media Checks:

  • Play an increasingly important role in vetting procedures whether required by law or simply for best practice.

  • Protect organisations from brand reputational damage and ensure company values and culture are maintained.

  • Avoid the cost of a bad hire, loss of contracts and financial penalties.

  • Demonstrate a commitment to due diligence in the vetting process. 

Why us?

Important to note:
Other providers’ costs are often based on 3 or 5 years of history. SMC is unlimited, subject to our fair usage policy.

MANUAL SOCIAL MEDIA SEARCHES

The dangers of manual searches and human interaction.

Surveys show that three-quarters* of hiring managers view candidates’ social media profiles as part of the hiring process and that trend is likely to increase. Most are conducted by an online search without the prior knowledge of the individual. 

We provide a fast, accurate and compliant check with a comprehensive report and certificate in under an hour.

Manual searches are fraught with dangers.

  • Ensured you’re checking the right individual? – same name but wrong profile.
