MEDIA CHECKS
Protect Your Reputation
Our media checks uncover publicly available content that may signal reputational risk, before it becomes a problem. Our searches scan a wide range of trusted sources, including licensed publications, news outlets, regulatory databases, court records, blogs, and social media platforms.
Types of Media Checks:
- Adverse Media Screening
- Social Media Check
- Full Internet Screening
Adverse Media Screening
Using the candidate’s full name and a refined negative search string, we surface relevant results and filter potential matches using additional personal identifiers. If a candidate has used previous names or aliases, we go further—conducting supplementary searches to ensure a more complete picture.
Social Media Check
The social media check scans a candidate’s publicly available social media accounts, i.e. Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, to look for adverse views, comments and photos. Reportable findings can include credible threats of violence, to kill, to damage property and evidence of hostility based on race, religion, disability, sexual orientation or transgender identity. We find all candidates social media accounts, even ones non declared. All checks are carried out with full consent.
Full Internet Search
The full internet search looks for anything that a candidate has written or has been linked to that may be of interest to you. We can look at published press articles, websites, blogs, forums, etc.
