From Company Handbook to Social Media Screening in Minutes: Meet the Fama Onboarding Wizard

Policies Need to Become Practice

Every employer has an Employee Handbook. It outlines expectations, defines workplace culture, and provides a roadmap for professional conduct. But too often, these policies stay on paper, leaving gaps between what organizations say they value and how they actually screen for those behaviors. Online misconduct, from harassment to threats, to violent action has grown significantly in recent years, forcing employers to rethink how they prevent and address the real-world misconduct behaviors that violate their policies.

That’s why Fama built the Onboarding Wizard, a tool that instantly transforms your Employee Handbook into your screening criteria. The onboarding wizard ensures you screen for the job-relevant behaviors that matter most to your organization..

Why Quality of Hire Matters More Than Ever

Quality of hire has become the most important metric in modern talent acquisition, yet most organizations still struggle to measure it effectively. Research shows that only about one in three employers report being confident in their ability to track quality of hire. At the same time, nearly 89% of HR leaders say it’s more important than ever, particularly in today’s labor market.

Bad hires are expensive. They create turnover, lower morale, expose organizations to reputational risk, and increase cost per hire. Fama’s research has shown that online behavior is often an early indicator of workplace issues later on, linking misconduct signals with poor long-term behavior and culture.

The Link Between Online Behavior and Hiring Success

Our 2024 misconduct report found that 75% of online misconduct cases in workplaces involved harassment, hate, or violence-related content, and nearly 1 in 20 job candidates in 2024 displayed online warning signs. In other words, what candidates post online often predicts how they show up at work.

In fact, Fama identifies 8 common misconduct indicators on social media: violence, threats, intolerance, crime, harassment, sexually explicit behaviors, drugs that correlate directly with lower quality of hire. Screening for these patterns doesn’t just reduce risk, it improves quality of hire, protects culture, and builds safer workplaces.

How the Onboarding Wizard Works

With the Onboarding Wizard, organizations can connect their policies directly to their screening practice:

1. Upload Your Employee Handbook. Start with the policies  you already enforce.
   
2. AI-Powered Analysis. Fama’s technology reviews your policies and identifies job-relevant behaviors tied to misconduct signals.
   
3. Behavior Kit Delivered. We'll generate custom screening criteria (we call them Behavior Kits!) that aligns best with your organization, policies, and culture.

This process makes it simple to operationalize your policies to start screening for misconduct fast!

Why It Matters for Employers

When employers ignore online misconduct, the consequences are steep. A single employee’s post can spark a reputational crisis, reduce public trust, or create safety concerns inside the workplace. In 2024, reputational damage was cited as the number one employer concern when misconduct surfaced online.

By aligning screening practices with existing policies, the Onboarding Wizard ensures that organizations are not just reacting after the fact, but proactively reducing misconduct risk and strengthening quality of hire.

Measuring Success: Beyond Risk Mitigation

Improving quality of hire requires more than risk prevention, it requires consistent measurement. The most effective organizations track a combination of performance metrics (productivity, manager satisfaction, retention) alongside behavioral metrics (incidents of misconduct, adherence to values).

The Onboarding Wizard enables organizations to create this alignment by linking policies, behavior, and outcomes. Over time, this ensures that every hire is not just compliant but also a contributor to culture, safety, and performance.

Compliance and Fairness at the Core

All screening practices must be job-relevant, legally compliant, as well as fair and consistent. Fama’s approach ensures organizations only review publicly available, legally permissible content while applying consistent, policy-driven criteria. With AI-powered screening and human oversight, the process remains both scalable, consistent, and accurate.
