The Checks

Based on the 7 key Index measures of online behaviour (Social People Index), our Social Media Checks utilises powerful screening and online behaviour evaluation tools designed to fairly and objectively assess a candidate’s social media profile over a 2, 3, 5 or 10 year period. The Social Media Checks result is presented in an easy to interpret report which helps protect an employer without breaching trust with the candidate.

“Staff and reputation are two of the most valuable assets of our company. Our investment in SP-Index provides a useful benchmark, which together with other metrics, ensure our staff remain our highest priority. Their success ultimately promotes the company’s reputation for integrity and longevity.”

-Andrew Turberville Smith, COO Weatherbys Bank
