Social Media

Open Source Research is an analysis of all publicly available information and data. This includes social media, databases, internet accounts, books, news and magazine content plus media reports. 

This type of check will provide you with information about a candidate's prior employment, status in their industry, academic and educational background and even some insight into their interests and character. 

This check is important for another reason too - it makes you aware of all the information that is readily, publicly available about your candidate. This can be useful to you, but it can also protect you from any unexpected information coming to light.
