Find the right cultural fit through social media screening

Cutting Edge Background’s social media background checks search key social platforms to surface public contact to help complete a full picture of your candidate.

Comprehensive Social Media Searches

Reveal information and deeper insight missed in criminal background checks alone. Cutting Edge’s social media screen searches and analyzes over a dozen risk categories, including insults and bullying, toxic language and threats of violence, to reveal problematic postings. Searches include all the top platforms—Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and Twitter. Reportable results comply with applicable guidelines and regulations and are displayed in an easy-to-read format.

Technology + Human Analysis

Social media posts and interactions can be difficult to find and interpret. Social Media Screen employs robust technology to search platforms for negative text and images. Specially trained human analysts reviewed flagged results. This extra step ensures that only postings with potentially serious negative impacts are reported.

Easy-to-Read Reporting

Social media content often includes videos, images, emojis, and other visual elements. That’s why Cutting Edge’s Social Media report delivers more than written results. Each reportable item is shown in a visual format, linked to the original content to preserve vital context and make results easier to use.
