Social Media Screening Trends

Social Media Screening Trends (Podcast/Vidcast)
Statistics- many employers are using Social Media to screen applicants, but the big question is are they doing it themselves or are they using an FCRA compliant screening partner.
The current available sites being searched by the AI and Technology Solutions available cover PUBLIC profiles on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter & TikTok.
Trends- as price comes down and lawsuits arise employers will see the value in using a partner for social media backgrounds.
Compliance- HR professionals get uneasy when they look at new searches and assessment of those searches in hiring decisions due to the massive amount of litigation in the HR/Compliance/Hiring space.
Suggestions- if you are going to do it, do it right and avoid potential risk.
The trusted partners in the social media screening space.

The very idea of checking someone’s social media for employment purposes is subjective, and is open to abuse by ideologues and socio-political zealots.
The really bad part of it all is that it can be done covertly, like the comment-trolling of faceless social media avatars.
Often, the company big wigs that weaponize social media screening are the very same faceless troll avatars engaging i. Their own brand of the very thing they turn down applicants for from social media screening.

Social media screening for pre employment purposes done by a background screening company should follow FCRA protocols to avoid detecting fake accounts. There is also an emphasis in on verifying the people behind the profiles and even asking applicants to provide their social media handles/usernames.
