Social media screening reviewed by an analyst.
An analyst-reviewed, FCRA-compliant report on public online behavior against a documented policy — not a hiring manager scrolling Instagram. JDP sells analyst-reviewed reports; NCSI offers social checks for youth and civic programs.
Also called social media background check, online reputation report, FCRA social search.

What it covers
Public social and web content relevant to a documented policy, reviewed by analysts or tooling- A consumer report with the disclosures and dispute process that implies
Done wrong, this is the easiest product here to do illegally — protected-class exposure, no consistency, skipped investigative-consumer-report disclosures. The professional version is a partner with analysts, a rubric, and FCRA process; many employers should still skip it.
What it covers
- Public social and web content relevant to a documented policy, reviewed by analysts or tooling
- A consumer report with the disclosures and dispute process that implies
What it doesn’t cover
Hacking, friend-requesting, or accessing private profiles- Guarantee every platform or alias
- Remove bias — a rubric reduces it; know why you are ordering this
Where the data comes from.
Public web and social platforms, analyst-reviewed
JDP-style AI-plus-human reviews; NCSI-style youth-safety checks.
Why identity comes first.
Wrong-person social hits are common. A bound identity and a documented matching standard separate a report from a mix-up.
How the network fulfills it.
Only partners who treat this as FCRA work — JDP and NCSI already sell analyst-run products. We will not route it to a CRA whose “social search” is a URL dump.
This is the wrong search if…
You do not have a written policy for what you will consider
Do not order it. A report without a rubric is a discrimination machine.
You wanted a criminal search and thought this was cheaper
It is not a criminal search. Run the courts.
Commonly ordered with.
- National criminal search
The record search this is not a substitute for.
- Sex-offender registry search
Youth programs that add social still need the registry.
