Social Media Screening – Online Reputation & Risk Check

Why screen social media?

Brand protection

Avoid hiring individuals whose public posts could damage your company's reputation.

Workplace safety

Identify warning signs of harassment, violence, or discriminatory attitudes.

Culture fit

Assess alignment with your organisation's values and code of conduct.

How social media screening works

1. Consent & profile details

Candidate provides public profile URLs and written consent for a public‑domain review.

2. Automated & manual scan

AI scans for high‑risk keywords and sentiment; a human reviewer validates flagged content.

3. Report with findings

A summary report flags any concerning content with context and severity levels.

AI‑assisted scan + Human review

Our hybrid approach ensures both speed and accuracy:

Natural language processing (NLP) scans for hate speech, threats, explicit content, and discriminatory remarks
Sentiment analysis and keyword filters across major platforms (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.)
Human reviewer validates every flagged item to rule out false positives
Only public‑domain posts are reviewed; private messages are never accessed

This method balances efficiency with the nuance needed to avoid misinterpretation.

Security & data protection

Explicit consent

Candidate authorises the review of their public profiles before screening begins.

Public domain only

We never attempt to access private messages or password‑protected content.

Encrypted reports

Screening reports are encrypted and shared only with authorised HR personnel.

Audit trail

Full timestamped logs of the screening process for transparency and compliance.

Social media screening is conducted only after candidate consent, and the review is strictly limited to publicly available information. We adhere to the principles of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and ensure that flagged content is reviewed in context to avoid bias. No private data is ever accessed or retained beyond the reporting period.
