More than 12,000 international, national and local media sources are searched, including newspapers, corporate news releases and newswires and trade, business and academic journals, some from as far back as 1971.
Adverse Media checks use an advanced system to search over 12,000 media sources globally for articles linking candidates to serious crimes such as drug trafficking, fraud and terrorism, which could potentially cause reputational risk for your company.
Checking a candidate's media presence allows prospective employers to understand whether a candidate has been subject to negative publicity, and if this could negatively impact the employer's company. Additionally, an Adverse Media check can unearth links to organized crime and money laundering, which may indicate the candidate to be a financial and well as reputational risk to hire.
