What Is A Global Adverse Media Searches?
A Global Adverse Media Searches is a broad-based media and press search of a candidate’s background via global electronic media sources. This may involve both professional and personal activities and helps to provide unique insight into the image and reputation of a candidate and may reveal information pertinent to the role you are hiring for.
A Global Adverse Media Searches search includes traditional news media like newspapers in print or online or broadcast news across radio and TV. We can also draw content and media from other sources, such as blogs, web posts, social feeds and unstructured forums.
Why Conduct Global Adverse Media Searches?
Global Adverse Media Searches may uncover past behaviour or activities that could affect a candidate’s ability to fulfil a role, negatively impact your company’s reputation and shed light on the candidate’s character that has not been officially recorded in any other manner.
Global Adverse Media Searches may reveal involvement with unsavoury and extremist behaviour, money laundering, financial fraud, drug trafficking, human trafficking, financial threats, organised crime, and terrorism which can be a serious reputational risk and may have unexpected legal repercussions.
Global Adverse Media Searches are critical to a robust risk mitigation strategy. They are essential for regulated industries like charities, education, healthcare, banking, finance, insurance, and crypto.
