What is socialprofiler?
0:33
Hello everyone Welcome to Ask Social
0:35
Profiler I'm Dave Moronic And I'm Tony
0:38
Noskov And uh we do social media
0:41
activity tracking and analytics We do
0:44
social media background checks and
0:47
social media personal assessment We
0:49
break down anyone's interests based on
0:52
what they follow and what they have
0:54
liked on Instagram Facebook X and Tik
0:58
Tok Knowing more about the interests of
1:01
other people as they relate and as they
1:04
interact with your inner circle Yeah
1:06
that's right Dave And I also think that
Compatibility in Friend Groups & Clubs
1:10
social profiler is about compatibility
1:13
Knowing if somebody fits in the group or
1:16
organization is super important
1:18
especially nowadays when everything is
1:21
so polarized and controversial
1:23
Absolutely You know I've been in
1:25
situations where you know you have an
1:28
individual who just doesn't isn't a good
1:30
fit for the organization Their values
1:32
don't align with our values It's one of
1:35
those situations I think everybody's had
1:37
where an individual ultimately decides
1:40
to leave in an organization and the
1:42
people that are left behind are dancing
1:43
in the aisles and they're dancing in the
1:45
halls because that person is no longer
1:47
part of the organization I think we've
1:50
all been there where somebody seemed
1:51
like they were a great fit and then when
1:54
you brought them in you found out they
1:56
just don't align with the organization
1:58
and and and it damages the organization
2:00
and it damages the people who are in
2:02
that organization from really being able
2:04
to be productive and meet their job
2:06
qualifications and specifications
2:09
Yeah that's right And by uh organization
2:12
it's not necessarily for-profit
2:14
organization And it might be just you
2:17
know a little club or just a group of
2:19
friends Anytime you invite a new person
2:23
in a existing ecosystem that might be
2:28
compatibility concern Absolutely You
2:30
know compatibility is key for an
2:32
organization to really maintain a good
2:35
culture and a good environment for
2:38
productivity and that's what's really
2:40
key as well as being able to have good
2:42
people that meet the needs of the
2:44
organization
2:47
[Music]
2:49
Would you be okay if your employer
Would You Let Your Employer Screen You?
2:50
checked your social media before hiring
2:52
you Yeah on my social media I feel like
2:55
that's something that I've always
2:56
thought about like being not being
2:58
watched but kind of because that's how
3:00
everybody can see you and they view you
3:02
So and I feel like it's like a huge
3:04
thing companies do nowadays and it
3:06
depends what I'm looking to be hired for
3:08
I mean I've definitely posted things in
3:09
the past I am very careful about it now
3:12
Um but whatever I'm looking to get hired
3:14
for is normally within the same like
3:16
guidelines that I'm willing to post on
3:17
Instagram I'm probably on the fence
3:19
about that I mean they're right I mean
3:21
if they're posting things publicly
3:23
uh probably okay but um I don't believe
3:27
social media companies should be
3:29
releasing information that uh the user
3:32
has deemed private or since made it
3:35
private So that's my concern where if
3:37
they're starting to release information
3:39
that's um the the user has clearly
3:43
stated they want to be private right
3:47
[Music]
3:49
One of the reasons I got involved with
Why Parents Use socialprofiler
3:51
Social Profiler is that I'm a parent And
3:54
as a parent there's always one or more
3:57
kids that you just don't feel right
4:00
about that you're just a little bit
4:02
concerned and you need to know a little
4:04
bit more about them about the interests
4:07
of other people who are interacting with
4:09
your children to make sure that you're
4:11
comfortable that their interests and
4:13
your interests align you know interest
4:15
in the things that people do on social
4:17
media is really uh an indicator of
4:20
people's character and their nature
4:22
especially when they don't think they're
4:24
being watched And so that's one of the
4:27
reasons why I got involved with Social
4:29
Profiler because as a parent I always
4:32
want to know that the people that are
4:33
interacting with my children my family
4:37
even my
4:38
co-workers they're always being
4:41
protected and they're safer because the
4:43
PE I know more about those people Yeah
4:45
that's right And think about anybody you
4:48
invite in your home caregivers
4:51
maintenance workers gardeners
4:54
contractors anybody who's walking in and
4:56
out of your house Do you know enough
4:58
about those people to protect your
5:00
family The most common answer would be
5:02
no People do not They don't even bother
5:05
to check IDs if it's real Tony or maybe
5:08
Jose Are you sure that you know enough
5:11
information about them to where you feel
5:13
comfortable that they're walking in and
5:15
out of your house Well Social Profiler
5:18
can help because most companies don't do
5:22
thorough background research like Social
5:25
Profiler because they just don't have
5:27
the time effort or money to conduct
5:30
these thorough background checks But now
5:33
with Social Profiler they
5:36
[Music]
5:41
can Some people feel that social media
Privacy Ethics: What We Check & Don’t
5:44
screening is unethical or in its
5:47
invasion of privacy especially when it
5:50
comes to what they're doing on a social
5:51
media
5:52
perspective What are your thoughts on as
5:54
it relates to the ethics or the legality
5:57
of what you're doing So if your account
5:59
is specifically private we have no right
6:03
to look into that So Social Profiler
6:06
doesn't look into anybody's private
6:08
accounts or private profiles Only public
6:11
profiles they look into Absolutely Not
6:14
only because it's might be illegal
6:16
Technically it's not illegal in the most
6:18
of jurisdictions in the US but still I
6:22
think it's unethical So if somebody
6:25
specifically decided to stay private we
6:28
have to respect this right
6:31
[Music]
Real Opinions: Is Screening Intrusive?
6:34
Uh how do you feel about social media
6:35
screen background checks Do you think
6:37
it's necessary or intrusive
6:40
I really feel like it's all depending on
6:41
the situation And I I feel like it is
6:43
necessary at some point That's the life
6:44
that we're all living now You know like
6:46
social media is not going away It's
6:47
still here It's very much the basis of
6:49
every company every relationship every
6:51
everything you know like there's
6:53
definitely the lucky people that get to
6:55
live off the grin But
6:57
you know as far as looking to do
6:58
something that's just that's just where
7:00
you're at where you're at Um I think
7:02
it's
7:02
intrusive but also if if you do
7:05
something really bad then they should
7:07
know I'm I do do background checks on
7:10
people especially if they're entering my
7:12
social world or my personal closer
7:15
circle for example if I'm going to date
7:18
someone So yeah I'm I'm I'm not opposed
7:22
to it Okay
7:24
[Music]
AI vs Manual Screening
7:27
Is it true that most the companies on
7:29
the internet today that do social media
7:32
research on an individual are doing it
7:36
manually As far as their assessments
7:38
it's surprising but it feels like yes Or
7:43
they do very very old-fashioned keyword
7:47
analysis So what you're telling me is
7:49
the unique characteristic of social
7:52
profiler is that you're able to develop
7:55
a person's interests their profile
7:58
You're able to do that statistically not
8:01
manually like being done with other
8:03
companies All algorithms are absolutely
8:06
neutral You cannot tune you know
8:09
reporting for certain purpose or for
8:11
certain individual That means that no
8:14
bias is involved There's no room for
8:17
error I mean there is some technical
8:20
errors but now it accounts to
8:22
0.01 or 2% I think it's very important
8:26
that we do not have any value judgment
8:30
So we break down the interests as they
8:32
are and we don't assign good or bad to
8:35
that We don't really it's up to end user
8:39
Our job is to highlight the interest As
Interest Mapping at Scale
8:42
a matter of fact person is interested in
8:45
this and that and we stand behind every
8:48
conclusion So for example social
8:51
profiler has tens of thousands of meta
8:54
categories and hundreds of thousands of
8:57
interests that it measures One of the
8:59
ways that we identify a person's
9:01
interest is we compare all of those
9:04
300,000 plus interests of that
9:07
individual as compared to the average
9:09
user on that platform And by comparing
9:13
that person to the average we can now
9:16
identify their interests and their
9:18
strengths of interest And we go ahead
9:20
and identify and categorize and are able
9:23
to generate a report on an individual
9:25
typically in less than one minute
9:28
something that would take weeks if not
9:30
months on a group of uh small or large
9:34
individuals Thank you for your time And
Know Interests Before They Speak
9:36
as we always say know a person's
9:38
interest before they say the word
