Social Media Screening

With social media becoming a fundamental way bllions engage with each other, social media background checks are increasing in popularity to minimise risk of a bad hire. Sterling has partnered with FAMA to offer clients the ability to screen potential and current employees using publicly available online information. Our solution helps organisation’s values, while also enhancing ethical decision-marketing and compliance by proactively recognising risk-creating behaviours such as bigotry, racism, and sexism.
