Executive Background Check

When it comes time to hire, a lot of time and effort is put into searching for the right person. Consider the need for an Executive Background Check.

Whether you are seeking someone to sit at a desk or work out in the field, you are putting your faith in them to represent your company and brand. But when searching for the high-level executive, you have even greater concerns and challenges because now you’re hiring at the decision-making level. In many cases, these individuals will be the face of your company, and making decisions that will have a lasting impact on your company. There is a higher level of trust that goes into hiring a high-level executive. Not to mention high-level executive candidates have unique professional histories and expectations of a white-gloved approach to the hiring process. Offering someone a high-level position without first conducting an Executive Background Check could prove to be detrimental to your company.

What an Executive Background Check Will Uncover

The risks associated with hiring a high-level executive are far more significant than with an average employee.  Whether you are hiring a high-level executive for the long term or just looking for someone for a short period of time, a thorough look at their background in necessary to ensure the integrity of your company is not compromised. An Executive Background Check can provide objective and pivotal details about a candidate’s:

• Past Performance
• Character
• Credibility
• Qualifications
• Education
• Conflicts of Interest
• Links to Organized Crime

Today’s easily accessible availability of technological capabilities makes it easy for someone to falsify their degree, experience, documentation, employment records, references and even their identity. If you are taking the word of every candidate, you are already making a potentially catastrophic mistake in your hiring process. You could be hiring a high-level executive who has inflated their qualifications, who has a criminal record or who has “accidentally” omitted key material information. An Executive Background Check by a trained professional private investigator will uncover the truth about your candidates, regardless of what their resume says.

Consequences of Not Conducting an Executive Background Check

You have spent a lifetime building your company and your brand, but it only takes a minute to destroy it all. Criminal misconduct or inappropriate and unethical workplace behavior at the executive level of your company could quickly turn into a media nightmare. Not only does the character of the high-level executive in question come to light, but also the people he or she directly works with. You would be forced to answer some hard questions. The entire company, the brand’s credibility, legitimacy and worth would all come into question and the high-level executive’s Executive Background Check performed by trained private investigators would be the forefront of your defense. The board, shareholders, employees, customer and clients would all suffer the consequences of a poorly vetted high-level executive hire.
