Driving Diversity Through Social Media Screening in Local Government While, broadly speaking, it is true that the public sector still tends to be more diverse than the private sector, local governments still struggle to reflect the diversity of the communities they serve. Research initiatives have helped support the claim that diversifying local government by hiring folks from underserved communities contributes to improved policy to serve those communities better.

The Future of Work in K-12 Education. Education underwent a tremendous pivot to digital learning in an extremely short period. As schools have returned to in-person learning, many schools kept portions of digital remote learning. As a result, hiring teachers with digital fluency and proper digital hygiene habits should continue to be a top priority.

As a result, we receive loads of questions from employers and individuals about what kinds of posts will raise red flags on a Social Intelligence Report. Red flag content runs the gamut from off-color comments to video admissions of potentially serious crimes.

At Social Intelligence, we really love The Office. A few months ago, our friends over at Sterling Talent Solutions wrote a blog post about movie characters and employment. They specifically focused on characters who should have undergone an employment background check. Remember Jack Black’s character in School of Rock? He was somehow able to get a job as a substitute teacher while impersonating his roommate.

Most retail stores require a small army of seasonal employees to keep things moving smoothly. The last few months of every year mark the retail industry’s most profitable season. According to the National Retail Federation, the holiday season can account for up to 30% of annual sales. In order to accommodate the booming demand (and this year is shaping up to be a real doozy ).

Social media background screening can sound scary. Often times, when asked what we do for a living, those of us who work at Social Intelligence hear a sheepish “Ohhhh wow! Don’t look at my accounts!” We chuckle and try to give the quick explanation of what we do because we get it, on the surface it sounds like a George Orwell novel. Rest assured, these are things we think about and have responded to over the better part of a decade.

Understanding what has changed between two versions of a design is a challenge for structural engineers. BIM 360 Team provides a tool which helps project managers, designers, and engineers better understand design changes across the different versions of a 3D model. Using this tool, users can compare two versions of a Revit file and get the differences being highlighted with color-coding.

Structural engineers, detailers and fabricators struggle with siloed teams, disconnected workflows, and varying software platforms that do not integrate seamlessly. This requires manual processes to bridge gaps which can lead to expensive errors and fabrication waste. To help address these challenges, we have added Advance Steel software to the AEC Collection.

“Social media is no longer cutting-edge; it is mainstream. For HR to overlook it today would be like ignoring e-mail 20 years ago.” – Jonathan A. Segal. These days, social media is more pervasive than ever before, and its prevalence only continues to grow. If your company is running criminal background checks, they should consider running social media checks as well.

Social Intelligence conducts thousands of social media background checks a month. During our search, we look for four types of red flag behavior: anything sexually explicit, racist and/or intolerant, illegal, or violent. We are often asked how exactly we determine that content falls under one of our red flags. In the coming weeks, we are going to break down all four red flag behaviors.
