Based on the 7 key Index measures of online behaviour (Social People Index), our Social Media Background Check utilises powerful screening and online behaviour evaluation tools designed to fairly and objectively assess a candidate’s social media profile over a 2, 3, 5 or 10 year period. The background check result is presented in an easy to interpret report which highlights potential risk to an employer without breaching the trust of the candidate. Social Media Background Checks have become a common way to identify which new recruits have the right values and cultures for your organisation. It is also becoming an increasingly common legal problem for organisations when staff breach company policy by leaking information, criticise their employer, or post inappropriate information online. The Social People Index is a measurement of Online Social Profile, evaluating the way in which an individual manages and presents themselves publicly online through social media and networking. It was created and developed by the UK based company Social Media Consulting Ltd and has become a recognised method for individuals, HR professionals, recruiters, employers and other organisations to obtain reports about an individual's online reputation and social profile without invading privacy or breaching statutory rules.
