Problem
Organizations face challenges in thoroughly vetting potential candidates, as traditional background checks often lack insight into a candidate's online behavior and public social media presence. This can lead to mismatches between a candidate's character and corporate values, potentially increasing turnover, creating unsafe work environments, and exposing the company to brand risk.
Solution
Ferretly provides an AI-powered social media screening platform that analyzes a candidate's digital footprint across a wide range of social media platforms, blogs, forums, and news sites. The platform uses avatar comparison and fuzzy matching techniques to accurately locate a candidate's online presence, even across alternative social media channels. Ferretly's reports are customizable and legally compliant, providing insights into a candidate's behaviors, potential risks, and alignment with company values. This enables organizations to make more informed hiring decisions, improve workplace culture, and mitigate potential risks.
Target Audience
