Questions
FCRA Compliance FAQs
Common questions about compliant social media screening
What makes social media screening FCRA compliant?
FCRA-compliant social media screening requires several key elements: proper disclosures to candidates before screening, written consent collection, adverse action procedures when reports affect hiring decisions, and dispute resolution processes. Ferretly operates as a registered Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA) and delivers reports that meet these standards, giving your team the documentation needed to make legally defensible hiring decisions.
Does Ferretly send adverse action notices?
No. Ferretly provides the FCRA-compliant screening report. Sending pre-adverse and final adverse action notices is the employer’s responsibility. Our report is structured to support your adverse action process: clear flagging of relevant findings, EEOC-safe content, and complete documentation you can attach to candidate communications and retain in your audit records.
What protected classes are excluded from reports?
Ferretly’s AI is trained to automatically exclude EEOC protected class information from reports. This includes race, religion, national origin, age, disability status, genetic information, pregnancy status, and political affiliation. This ensures your FCRA-compliant social media screening cannot be used for discriminatory hiring practices.
How long do you retain screening records?
Ferretly maintains complete audit trails for 7+ years per FCRA record retention requirements. This includes the original report, search methodology, content found, consent records, and dispute documentation. This comprehensive record-keeping ensures your FCRA-compliant social media screening remains legally defensible if ever challenged.
Can Ferretly reports be used in legal proceedings?
Yes. Ferretly reports are designed to be legally defensible. As a registered CRA, we follow all FCRA requirements, maintain complete audit trails, and use consistent, bias-free AI analysis. Our reports have been accepted in legal proceedings because they document the exact content found, when it was found, and maintain chain-of-custody records. Many compliance teams choose Ferretly specifically for this legal defensibility.
