Introduction
With the rapid change in hiring dynamics, it becomes essential for organisations to assess their candidate’s online presence. Platforms such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram no longer serve as social media sites but also as a way for companies to evaluate their candidates’ behaviour. These platforms help identify candidates’ values and professionalism, providing a complete picture of an individual.
What are Social Media Checks?
Social media checks involve reviewing a candidate’s social media profiles to evaluate their suitability for a job. This process involves analyzing various online platforms, primarily LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and even TikTok, to gather information that traditional resumes might not reveal. While resumes provide a snapshot of a candidate’s qualifications, social media can offer a more dynamic picture of their personality, interests, and how they communicate with others. By evaluating a candidate’s online presence and interactions, recruiters can assess their professionalism, values, and potential red flags, thus making informed hiring decisions.

Benefits of Conducting Social Media Checks
Identifies Red Flags
Social media checks can help organisations identify potential red flags that may not appear at the time of interviews or background checks. This is done by carefully assessing their candidates’ social media presence, thereby helping organisations hire the right individuals.
Evaluates Cultural Fit
Social media checks can offer valuable insights into whether a candidate will connect well with the existing team. This can help organisations identify whether these individuals align with the organisation’s values.
Assesses Professionalism
A carefully curated social media presence can indicate that the candidate is mindful of their values, and image, and takes their career seriously. This can help organisations to evaluate their online professionalism, thereby making correct hiring decisions.
Key Elements of Social Media Checks as part of Employee BGV
When conducting social media checks, organizations should focus on several key elements:
Professionalism
It’s important for businesses to look for evidence of professionalism in how candidates present themselves online. A well-maintained LinkedIn profile with a professional photo, and a well-written summary can reflect positively on a candidate.
Online Behavior
Before hiring a candidate, it’s important for organisations to:
- Assess how candidates interact with others.
- Are their comments respectful?
- Do they engage in constructive discussions?
This can provide insights into their interpersonal skills and how well they might fit into the team.
Engagement
Lastly, it becomes important to analyze the type of content candidates share and engage with. Sharing industry-related articles, participating in discussions, and showcasing their achievements can indicate a candidate’s passion for their profession.
