How It Works

 

Social Media Screening

By automating the discovery of red flags and identifying points of interest in online digital footprints, we’re saving you time and helping you manage your risk.

What Is Social Media Screening?

Social media screening involves a pre-employment review of your candidates’ social media accounts and content to assess their potential cultural fit and alignment with organisational values.

At CheckSocial, we take this one step further, by offering a more in-depth solution; digital footprint checks. Our checks go beyond social media to include all online platforms including forums, messaging applications, search engine findings such as news stories and the dark web.

What Are Digital Footprint Checks?

Digital footprint checks are an automated solution to social media screening, which use a combination of powerful AI technology and expert human analysts to provide you with powerful insights into your candidates’ attitudes, interests, values and behaviours.

Automating digital footprint checks can help your organisation make confident and informed hiring decisions, select candidates who align with your culture and values, prevent bad hires and reduce turnover.

How Digital Footprint Checks Work

Simply enter your candidates’ name and email into the CheckSocial platform and we do the rest.

Our AI then looks for red flags in their online activity, positive insights, such as interests, experience, education and awards, and any undeclared online accounts.

Our team of expert analysts then review all of the findings, assign relevancy and risk ratings to give context and provide you with your report.

Your HR team then review the report to assist with your hiring process.
