Results You Can Trust
Our Adverse Media Screening and Social Media Screening Options
Media screening can help reveal information standard background checks cannot, helping you make more informed hiring decisions for positions of trust.
Social Media Screening
Our social media checks search up to seven years of publicly available online content, providing valuable insights into online activity that traditional background checks may miss. It scans tens of thousands of content sources in 30 languages to help identify relevant online misconduct.*
U.S. Adverse Media Screening
U.S. adverse media searches review more than 1100 U.S. based newspapers, magazines, journals, and other media sources to provide you with negative content that may be related to individuals in the U.S. — before you engage with them.*
International Animal Rights Activism Search
Available for non-U.S. individuals with address history outside of the U.S., the animal rights activist search reviews publicly available web pages, including media sources, blogs, the websites of animal rights organizations, online petitions, social media, or other open-source materials, to identify content related to animal right activism associated with an individual that may be of concern to your business.
International Reputational Media Screening
The international reputational media search is available for individuals with address history outside the U.S. It searches thousands of international English and non-English news sources for content associated with the individual, reporting on breaking news, current events, and relevant media from the last seven years.
