Adverse media check - get the scoop on your next hire

In an increasingly connected world, it’s becoming more important to know as much as possible about the people you want to join your business. Adverse media checks search for any mention of a candidate in the press and media which could be seen as negative or potentially damaging. These checks are popular for roles that have high visibility or are traditionally positions of public trust. Often, regulations require these checks to be carried out, but they are also an effective way of protecting a business’s brand, culture, and reputation.
