Influencer Background Check

The Background Check
Built for Influencer Marketing

HR background-check tools scan job candidates. CreatorScore scans creators — with video transcripts, fake-follower ML, FTC disclosure patterns, and continuous post-signing monitoring that no HR tool provides.

Every creator you're considering has years of public content. The risky tweet from 2019, the off-brand podcast episode, the viral moment their audience sided against them — it's all in their history. We surface it in minutes, not days. Single report $19.99; unlimited scans on any paid plan.

What Gets Scanned

Six signal layers, every creator. The goal isn't a yes/no — it's a clear picture of risk across every dimension that matters for a brand partnership.

Multi-year Tweet History

Every public tweet and reply from the creator's account, going back years — not just the last 100. Old tweets that resurface are the #1 source of avoidable brand-crisis incidents.

Full Video Transcripts

Speech-to-text on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram video content. Words spoken on camera matter more than captions — most background-check tools skip transcripts entirely.

Comments & Replies

Per-comment sentiment, toxicity, and bot-detection across the audience. What a creator's community says is often a stronger risk signal than what the creator says.

Visual Content (Frames, Thumbnails, Stories)

Computer vision scans every image and video frame for NSFW, violence, graphic content, and brand-adjacent risk. Includes ephemeral Instagram stories.

Adverse Media & Web Reputation

Google, news archives, forums, review sites, and lawsuit databases scanned for controversies, legal issues, and negative press that never appear in the creator's own content.

FTC Disclosure Pattern Analysis

Historical rate of proper sponsorship disclosure (#ad, Paid Partnership, verbal mentions). Sub-10% disclosure automatically caps the trust score — signals legal exposure.

Creator-native vs HR-native

Creator Background Check vs HR Screening

HR-focused tools like Ferretly and generic social-screening products weren't built for creator marketing. The gaps matter.

What You Get Back

Every background check produces a defensible report your team can act on, attach to a brief, or send to legal.

Single 1–100 Trust Score

A clear, defensible number you can drop into a brief or share with legal. Weighted across 7 independent AI agents.

Knockout Factors

Automatic score caps for severe risks — hate speech >90%, NSFW >95%, bot followers >60%, sub-10% disclosure. No judgment call required.

SHAP Driver Breakdown

Every score change is explained — exactly which signals moved the number, in plain English. No black-box vetting.

Flagged Evidence Archive

Every risk flag links back to the exact post, comment, or video frame it came from. Full audit trail for legal review.

Post-signing monitoring

The Incident That Matters Most Happens After You Sign

A one-shot report is only half the answer. Once a creator is in your roster, every new post across 12 platforms is pulled in daily, risk-scanned with NLP + computer vision + OCR + speech-to-text, and critical findings trigger an immediate email to your team — the same day the post goes live.

Brands should never first learn about a creator crisis from Twitter. That's the problem continuous monitoring solves — and it's included with every paid plan.
