Executive Search

Resumé Check conducts background screening for some of the most respected executive search firms in New Zealand. These firms actively seek out Resumé Check’s expertise in order to gain an impartial view of candidates that Boards are considering for a non-executive director position. All Resumé Check reports are submitted on an impartial basis to the Chairman or CEO for tabling.

Executive-level appointments involve greater responsibility, power and access to finances and confidential information - and therefore require greater screening than traditional positions. Before making a hiring position at a Board level, it is crucial to thoroughly assess a candidate’s professional background, qualifications, experience, as well as their character, personal integrity and any personal activities or memberships which may represent a conflict of interest.

As recent media coverage of high-profile cases have shown us, executive-level placements are especially vulnerable to overstatement of qualifications, embellishment of work history – even falsification of career achievements! Furthermore, with the increasing incidence of people working and living abroad, it is essential that screening includes international checks performed overseas at all relevant postings. This includes a World-Wide Media search as especially with Board-level positions, exposure of personal life in the media can have damaging consequences for your brand and company.

Resumé Check’s expert knowledge and skills in background screening combined with their global network of screening agencies ensures that you minimise the risks involved in recruiting at executive level.
