Consumer Reporting Agencies

Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs) play a vital role in helping businesses make informed hiring decisions by providing criminal background checks and other essential reports. However, as hiring practices evolve, employers are increasingly looking beyond traditional reports to gain a fuller picture of a candidate’s character and values. Ferretly’s social media screening reports offer CRAs a powerful way to meet this demand by supplementing their existing packages with insights into an individual’s digital footprint. With over 70% of employers doing social media screening (manually or with a partner), this is an ideal supplement to product offerings. 

By incorporating Ferretly’s social media screening into their offerings, CRAs provide clients with an essential tool to evaluate candidates’ online behavior. This additional layer of insight allows employers to identify red flags, such as discriminatory remarks, violent tendencies, or unprofessional conduct, that may not appear in criminal background checks or other traditional reports. Requests for Ferretly reports increase by an average of 125% annually. Offering social media screening not only enhances the value of CRAs’ packages but also positions them as leaders in providing comprehensive, modern solutions for their clients.  

For CRAs, the benefits go beyond meeting client needs—social media screening reports open a new revenue stream. By promoting and offering Ferretly’s reports, CRAs can attract more clients and provide a differentiated service that sets them apart in a competitive marketplace.

Ferretly’s AI-powered platform analyzes up to 10 years of public social media activity across major platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, Reddit, and Pinterest. The system categorizes behaviors, flags potential risks, and delivers comprehensive, privacy-compliant reports, enabling CRAs to provide clients with actionable insights into candidates’ online personas.

By integrating Ferretly’s social media screening into your packages, CRAs can enhance the decision-making tools available to clients, build stronger relationships, and increase revenue opportunities. Ferretly’s intuitive cloud platform delivers consistent, fast, and unbiased results, making it easy for CRAs to expand their offerings and support their clients with cutting-edge solutions.
