Your leadership team and core specialists define the values of your company, so hiring at the executive level can create real anxiety when a candidate's professional and personal history is not fully known. Our analysts fill in the remaining gaps so you can hire with confidence.
GLOBAL SANCTIONS & REGULATORY ACTIONS
Global sanctions and any actions against a candidate's professional licenses are the first items reviewed in every investigation. Where possible, those actions are clarified and put in context, since an action triggered by unpaid professional dues is a very different signal than one triggered by fraud.
PROFESSIONAL HISTORY
We review every aspect of a candidate's professional history, from insider trading reports and company-related litigation to affiliated business interests and media exposure. A record follows a candidate from one company to the next, and our research helps you understand what each one brings to your brand.
ARRESTS AND CONVICTIONS
Powerful background data streams compile arrests and convictions from across the United States as they are reported. We also use facial recognition technology to surface booking photos that may have been published online.
LITIGATION HISTORY
We examine both individual matters and those involving previous employers. Nationwide docket databases let us look at the candidate's role in each case and report on the key issues and allegations involved.
FINANCIAL DISTRESS
We review bankruptcies along with high-value liens and judgment records, which surface the kind of financial pressure worth knowing about before placing someone in a position of trust.
ADVERSE MEDIA EXPOSURE
Negative reviews and news coverage tied to a candidate's previous employer can follow them and attach to your firm. Our analysts search for that coverage, including images, using facial recognition to catch content where the candidate appears but is not named.
ONLINE ACTIVITY
Our database of more than 25 billion online accounts lets us assess a candidate's digital presence from an email address, phone number, or physical address. Once accounts are identified and verified, our analysts review post history for behavior that runs contrary to your company's values.
