Social media checks

Social media is a significant part of many people’s lives, used to share their thoughts and actions. Sometimes, these may not reflect your organisation’s values and could pose a risk to others. Checking candidates’ social media can reduce reputational damage or safeguarding issues. These tools ensure candidates are safe to work in your organisation.

We understand that organisations will have different requirements and volumes on candidate vetting. Whether you check one candidate a month or 1,000 candidates a month, our solution provides scalable reports to ensure you can meet your safeguarding requirements.

Our solution empowers you to ensure that your safeguarding goals are met with efficiency, accuracy and reliability all whilst adhering to strict UK GDPR guidelines.

Conducting social media checks requires a responsible and ethical approach. Our services are fully compliant with GDPR regulations as well as being ISO 27001 compliant (High Standard of Cyber Security and Data Protection) and Cyber Essentials assurance.

We ensure that during each check, the candidate provides explicit consent to the check, and we only conduct checks on publicly available information to ensure that the candidates private information and conversations are not viewable. We also ensure that accounts are connected using oAuth. This technology allows the candidate to share their account without disclosing any password or sensitive information.
