Social Media Screening Case Study

The Benefits of Social Media Screening

Our client was keen to professionally outsource social media checks, as they found that standard referencing checks were providing factual information, but providing little insight into a more detailed overview of their candidates’ characters. One of their company values is to encourage employees to be themselves, so taking extra steps in the screening process was the right move for them.

Prior to this, their hiring managers were informally conducting their own online searches, which risks a lack of transparency, fairness, and compliance in the hiring process. The business chose to conduct the checks on a particular population of the business, due to the sensitive nature of their roles.
