- A release form will be given to the applicant to provide their personal information and social media handles/links.
- We will then upload their information into our Artificial Intelligence database to conduct the social media background check.
- This service is similar to many of our other services; one of our criminal investigators will verify the applicant’s social media handles, enter the applicant’s information, review the data, rate the results, and provide the data to the company.
- You will then receive the report attached to the regular background check (can be a separate report).
