AI-Powered Social Media Screening
Ferretly helps organizations mitigate risk to their employees, brand and bottom lines by identifying candidates and employees that exhibit undesirable behavior online.
The smartest background screening platform on the market
Ferretly incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze posts and images across 12 distinct risk classifications. We use advanced machine learning and natural language processing to flag posts for specific risk factors. Ferretly processes thousands of posts from a single subject in seconds and you get a more thorough analysis than a human could achieve in hours analyzing the same set of posts. Here's a sample of some of the risks we can detect.
BULLYING
SELF HARM
NARCOTICS
VIOLENCE
HATE SPEECH
POLITICAL SPEECH
VIOLENT IMAGES
