Background Check for High-Profile Executive
Comprehensive vetting of a senior executive candidate for a critical role.
For a high-profile executive position, we conducted an exhaustive background check, including academic verification, employment history, criminal records, and global sanctions checks. Our thorough investigation uncovered discrepancies in the candidate's resume and identified undisclosed conflicts of interest, preventing a potentially damaging hire for our client.
The Challenge
A financial institution needed to ensure the utmost integrity and suitability of a candidate for a C-suite position, requiring a deep dive into their professional and personal history.
Our Solution
We performed multi-jurisdictional criminal record checks, verified all academic and professional qualifications directly with institutions, conducted extensive media and litigation searches, and interviewed professional references. Our integrity due diligence process also included open-source intelligence (OSINT) gathering to identify any reputational risks.
The Outcome
Our detailed report highlighted several critical undisclosed issues, including a past business dispute and a minor regulatory infraction that the candidate had not disclosed. This allowed the client to make an informed decision, ultimately choosing a different candidate and safeguarding their reputation and compliance.
