Los Angeles, CA – Fama Technologies, a leader in AI-driven modern candidate screening, is excited to announce their newest feature: Instagram Reels as a Source! With this release, Fama is taking a large step forward in helping its clients identify signals of workplace misconduct that may only appear in video format.
With an estimated 1 billion Reels created since its launch in 2022, Reels follows quickly on the heels of the company’s launch of TikTok as a Source in February. As more and more of the social media landscape becomes video-centric, Fama will continue to expand its source list and content type analysis to reflect the way people live their lives online.
This major source enhancement is designed to analyze publicly available video content at scale for critical misconduct issues such as violence, intolerance, and fraud. Just like with TikTok, customers can filter for all Fama flags and custom keywords on any Reels video. This aligns with Fama’s commitment to providing comprehensive and ethically sourced insights into candidates’ online behavior, aiding employers in making informed hiring decisions, and improving candidate fit and quality.
Ben Mones, CEO of Fama Technologies, emphasizes the importance of this development: “Overall we have seen an increase in demand from our customers for video screening. With over 200 billion Reels played per day and the rapid adoption of the platform over the last two years, this source quickly became a ‘must have’ for our clients and prospects,” said Mones. “TikTok coverage was just the first step. Our customers rely on us to evolve our solutions as new platforms and content types emerge. When it became clear that Reels was here to stay, we knew that we couldn’t leave it out of our product mix. We suspect video will continue to dominate the social media landscape, and we’ll continue launching new sources and features to keep our customers one step ahead,” added Mones.
