Web and Social Media

What is a Social Media check?​

A Web and Social Media Check, conducted through our partnership with Fama, evaluates an individual's broader online presence, including both social media accounts and other publicly available web content. Fama’s advanced AI technology, combined with human oversight, thoroughly reviews an individual’s digital footprint. The aim is to identify any inappropriate language, images, behaviours, or activities that could reflect poorly on the individual and, by extension, the organisation.

By performing Web and Social Media Checks through Fama, organisations can ensure that potential hires maintain a professional and respectful online image, aligning with the company’s values and protecting its reputation. This check helps organisations make informed hiring decisions while mitigating risks related to brand damage and workplace harmony.
