Your leadership team and other core specialists help define the values of your company, so the need to make a HCE hire can often lead to anxiety when a candidate’s professional and personal history is not fully known. Our analysts work to fill in any remaining knowledge gaps so companies can confidently hire HCEs.
Global Sanctions & Regulatory Actions
Global sanctions and actions against a candidate’s professional licenses are the first items reviewed during any investigation. Whenever possible, actions are clarified and contextualized - such as if an action was caused by non-payment of professional dues, or by fraudulent activities.
Professional History
We review all aspects of a candidate’s professional history - from insider trading reports and company-related litigation to affiliated business interests and media exposure. A candidate’s record and associated experience will follow them from one company to another - our research helps you better understand what each candidate will bring to your brand.
Arrests and Convictions
Powerful background data streams compile real-time arrests and convictions throughout the United States. Additionally, facial recognition technology is utilized to locate any booking photos that may have been published online.
Litigation History
Both individual matters and matters involving previous employers are examined during our research. Nationwide docket record databases allow us to examine the candidate’s role in each matter and report on the key issues/allegations at hand.
Financial Distress
Information regarding bankruptcies and high-value liens and judgement records ensure that candidates can be trusted throughout the course of their duties.
Adverse Media Exposure
Online reviews and newspaper articles can follow a candidate from a previous employer and become associated with your firm, which is why our analysts employ facial recognition technology to identify associated content published online.
Online Activity
Our database of over 25 billion online accounts allows us to quickly assess a candidate’s online presence with an email, phone number, or even address search. Once accounts are identified and verified, our analysts meticulously comb through post history to determine if behaviors appear that may run contrary to company values.
