Why It Matters
Why Conduct a Social Media Search?
A candidate’s public social media presence can reveal aspects of their character, values and behaviour that would never surface in a structured interview. Content posted publicly online, including inflammatory opinions, evidence of dishonesty or behaviour that conflicts with workplace policies, is a legitimate and increasingly important part of the hiring picture.
For client facing roles, leadership positions and roles involving sensitive data or vulnerable populations, social media searches provide an additional layer of assurance that a candidate’s public conduct is consistent with the standards your organisation expects. They are also increasingly used in re-screening programmes for existing employees in high trust roles.
When conducted by a professional third party, social media searches are structured, consistent and legally defensible, removing the risk of inadvertent bias or compliance issues that can arise when hiring managers conduct their own informal online research.
