Why Social Media Check
is a great fit for Banijay

Social Media Check is a fully automated solution that can check both public and private posts against a number of risk categories, returning an auditable report within the hour.

Reputations can be made and lost by your online presence whether you’re a business or an individual. Building a good reputation can take years, maintaining it requires continuous effort and losing it can take just a few seconds. 

What is posted online, and specifically on social media, can have a real impact on your brand. With SMC, you can mitigate the risk to your reputation by asking an individual to undertake a social media check.

Be safe, not sorry

The interactive report, with its carousel format, is a quick and easy way to determine whether you feel comfortable continuing with the individual. It provides a timeline of when the posts were made and how many were searched on each platform according to our fair usage policy.

Over time, most people have accumulated a significant digital footprint. Quite often, it’s a naïve post made years ago that can come to light. After all, can you remember everything you’ve posted online? Unfortunately, the internet never forgets. With SMC, you have the option to work with the individual to edit or delete a post that might cause embarrassment to your brand.

Report costs

An individual report costs just £35 plus VAT for sterling customers and an equivalent cost in euros, dollars etc subject to foreign exchange fluctuations.

Common objections

I’ll just use Google to check their social media history

Manual searches are fraught with dangers.  Have you?

  • Ensured you’re checking the right individual? – same name but wrong profile
  • Mistakenly identified protected characteristics not relevant to a hire? – unlawful and costly
  • Avoided unconscious bias and subjectivity? – through human intervention
  • Gained consent of the individual? – enabling a collaborative and compliant approach
  • Calculated the true cost of the time taken? – an automated search saves time and money
  • Created an auditable report? – providing a defensible position on inspection.

I’m not sure how many reports I need and when

Our report tokens never expire, so you can call them off whenever they are needed.
