Social Media Checks For Employees

Typically, our pre-employment social media checks take between two and five working days. We understand the importance of speed when recruiting and through refinement of the process of time, we’ve been able to ensure that adding an online behaviour check to your standard screening process does not slow down your overall recruitment process.

Our comprehensive Social Media Checks only ever explore content that is found within the confines of an individual’s public digital footprint. Our social media checks are fully compliant with employment, screening and assessment laws and never breach an individual’s privacy. Our profiling and reporting protects employers from causes and cases of discrimination due to the objective and independent nature of the report and its findings. If you have any reservations on our compliance with employee or prospective employee privacy please do reach out to us.

We carry out full online social profiling in order to assess an individual’s online cognitive style across the wide digital footprint. A digital footprint includes much more than just the recognised sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn; and extends to all other websites where an individual has constructed a public profile. This may include sites such as Amazon, eBay, Blog sites, YouTube and LiveStream channels.

An individual’s gathered data is not held by Carecheck for any longer than is needed to carry out the report. The type of data that we may temporarily hold for research purposes is limited to that which is usually provided within a traditional process or as part of a CV. No sensitive personal data is used or held by us.
