When you’re considering hiring someone new, it’s important that you conduct sufficient background checks to ensure you’re welcome legitimate and reliable people into your firm. One way you can do this is to carry out a media and internet search to find any information, online or offline, about your candidate.
Our Adverse Media Check can help search across the internet to find references to each of your candidates, to give you greater peace of mind over your new hires.
Our Adverse Media Checks
We know how vital it is to maintain your organisation’s safety and security, and that’s why we have developed a two-pronged adverse media check for you to check all your new hires against.
Our adverse media check is made up of two parts; media search and internet search.
Media search
Our media search scans press articles from over 20,000 local and international news sources with archives spanning over 20 years. This includes all major newswires, newspapers, magazines, trade journals and other specialised industry publications to provide an insightful overview of who your candidate is. The standard search is of English language media, however special local searches can be conducted in other languages.
The aim of the media search report is to highlight articles assessed to be relevant to the candidate. This can typically be returned to you within two working days.
Internet search
Our internet search covers over 1,000 search engines in 120 specialised categories, including searches among the “invisible web” which is normally hidden to search engines. The standard search is of English language media, however special local searches can be conducted in other languages.
The report that will be created based off our internet search is to highlight web pages assessed to be relevant to the candidate. This can typically be returned to you within two working days.
