Social Media Checks For Employees
Our social media reports are the perfect complement to your traditional employment and pre-employment screening. Our comprehensive reports highlight whether an individual’s social media and online activities are potentially damaging to the reputation of your business.
Social Media Checks Online
More than 4.6 billion people globally use social media, which makes up over 50% of the world’s population with the average social media user active for 2 hours and 27 minutes each and every day.
With that much time, energy and effort being expended online it is important to have the assurance that your employees or prospective employees are maintaining the professional standards you’d expect of them in a face-to-face, workplace environment.
Our Social Media Checks are carried out based on the 7 key measures of online behaviour, and are designed as a powerful screening and online behaviour evaluation tool that objectively, lawfully and fairly assess a candidate or employees social media profile over a 2,3,5 or 10 year period.
The output of a Social Media Check is an easy to read and simple to understand report to protect you, as the employer without breaching the trust of your candidate.
Adding another dimension to your pre-employment screening process, our Social Media Checks give you an insight that can not be captured through reference checking and other more traditional screening practices. These checks will highlight whether an individual’s online behaviour historically has been, or is
- Potentially brand and reputation damaging
- Showcasing undesirable characteristics
- Supportive of terrorist groups
- Connected to lobbyist or activist groups
- In breach of company policy
- The source of leaked company confidential information
- Likely to negatively impact client relationships
- Likely to expose your organisation to instances of bribery, corruption or fraud
- Offering information contradictory to the advised CV and career history

Social Media Check FAQs
Whether you are the owner of the business, the hiring manager, a leader or part of the HR team you’ll understand the importance of pre-employment screening, and how a comprehensive screening process can protect you from you future employee issues.
We’ve answered some questions that we get asked all of the time, below:
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.
