AI-Powered Social Media Screening
Ferretly helps organizations build stronger workplace cultures and mitigate risk to their brand and bottom lines by identifying those candidates that have exhibited undesirable behavior online.
The most comprehensive social media check on the market
Ferretly incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze posts and images across 14 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
Legally compliant and thorough analysis using Artificial Intelligence
Ferretly makes running social media background checks effortless.
