Online Hiring Risk: What Every Employer Needs to Know

About the Event

Traditional background checks tell you a lot about a candidate's past — but they don't tell you everything. Misconduct, safeguarding concerns and reputational red flags that exist in publicly available online content are routinely missed by standard hiring processes. For employers in regulated industries, that's a risk that's only growing. In this session, Ben Mones, Founder and CEO of Fama, walks through exactly what traditional checks miss and how AI-powered online screening helps recruitment teams identify risks — from harassment and threats of violence to intolerance — before they become your problem. You'll hear how Fama fits into your existing hiring workflow, how it pairs with Access Screening, and why with FCA commentary and upcoming regulatory changes, the urgency to act has never been greater. What you'll learn: The hiring risks traditional background checks don't catch How AI-powered online screening works and how it stays compliant and bias-controlled Where online screening slots into your hiring process Why now is the time to act
