Data Facts Introduces New Social Media Background Screening Technology

Data Facts Partners with Social Intelligence to Provide a More Thorough Background Check


MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Data Facts, a national and international provider of background screening solutions, announces the addition of an FCRA compliant social media background check tool to their suite of solutions. 

Lisa May, Data Facts' Senior Vice-President of Sales, believes the new product fits well with the company's current background screening solutions. "Everyone uses social media and being able to view that information during the hiring process is important. We may uncover posts or pictures that display bad judgment or illegal behavior that would be detrimental to the company if they hired that person. Best of all, the process is completely FCRA-compliant. We're confident this product addition will help our clients make smarter hiring decisions." 

The social media screening product is a third-party solution that uncovers unsavory or illegal behavior, tendencies toward violence, and discriminatory attitudes shared in the job applicants' social media profiles.

The FCRA-compliant social media background screening solution is the latest product addition by Data Facts to ensure their clients gain clear pictures of their job candidates so they can make the most informed hiring decisions.
