How Can Social Media Background Checks Benefit Your Organisation?
We conduct a significant portion of our lives online. This makes social media screening an indispensable component of comprehensive pre-employment screening. Advanced Vetting, a specialist agency providing thorough vetting services globally, recognises the critical role that social media plays in understanding a candidate’s character, behaviour, and potential risks.
Our meticulous social media search process goes beyond traditional background checks, delving into candidates’ online presence across various social networks and platforms. This approach allows us to paint a more complete picture of potential employees, helping our clients make informed hiring decisions and mitigate risks associated with inappropriate online behaviour.
Incorporating social media screening into your pre-employment screening process offers numerous benefits:
- Enhanced risk mitigation
- Improved hiring decisions
- Deeper insights into candidate character and behaviour
- Verification of provided information
- Protection of company culture and reputation
By leveraging our expertise in social media background searches, organisations can streamline their online presence tracking efforts and gain a competitive edge in talent acquisition.
Can Social Media Background Checks Help with Ongoing Employee Monitoring?
While our primary focus is on pre-employment screening, Advanced Vetting’s social media search capabilities can also be utilised for ongoing employee monitoring. This can help organisations:

This information can be invaluable in assessing a candidate’s suitability for a role and cultural fit within an organisation.
