Screening Assessments

Senior appointments come with heightened risk. The cost of a poor hire at leadership level can be reputational, financial, and long‑lasting. Our executive screening assessments are designed to give you clarity, confidence, and assurance before you appoint.

We go beyond basic background checks to deliver thorough, legally compliant, and insight‑driven screening, tailored to executive, governance, and high‑trust roles. Our checks are conducted with discretion and precision, helping organisations make informed decisions while protecting their brand, stakeholders, and regulatory obligations.

From verifying qualifications and professional standing to identifying financial, regulatory, and reputational risks, our screening process provides a complete picture of a candidate’s suitability – not just what appears on a CV.

Bankruptcy

A Bankruptcy Check identifies whether an individual or business has filed for bankruptcy. This legal status can impact financial credibility, employment eligibility, and risk exposure. In Executive Recruitment, verifying bankruptcy history helps ensure candidates meet fiduciary and governance standards, especially for leadership roles in finance, governance, or compliance.

Qualification Check

This check confirms a candidate’s professional qualifications, memberships, or certifications are valid and current. It includes trade licences and vocational credentials, ensuring candidates meet industry standards. For executive search, this check supports credibility and compliance, especially in regulated sectors like finance, law, and healthcare.

Reference Check

Reference Checks provide detailed insights into a candidate’s past performance, leadership style, and cultural fit. Conducted via phone, email, or SMS, they are essential in Executive Recruitment to validate experience, assess stakeholder relationships, and reduce hiring risk for high-impact roles.

Social Media & Digital Footprint Check

This advanced screening evaluates a candidate’s online presence across social media, news, and threat networks. It identifies reputational risks, extremist affiliations, and toxic behaviour. For executive search, this check ensures brand safety and leadership integrity before appointment.

Right to Work Check

This check verifies a candidate’s legal right to work in Australia. It confirms visa status, citizenship, or residency documentation. In Executive Recruitment, this ensures compliance with employment law and avoids delays in onboarding senior talent.

Australia: Business Interests

This check identifies if an individual is involved in other businesses that could create a conflict of interest. Using ASIC data, it lists company names, positions held, and appointment dates. Common for roles such as consultants, managers, directors, and banking professionals.

Professional Membership Check

This check is commonly used to verify memberships such as Charted Practicing Accountants (CPA), Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), Finance Brokers Association of Australia Limited (FBAA), Association of Certified Chartered Accountants (ACCA), Financial Services Institute of Australasia (FINSIA) and Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD).

Credit Default

A Credit Default Check identifies if an individual has financial issues leading to credit defaults. It includes defendant and plaintiff names, court action type, amount, and date lodged. Crucial for roles handling company finances, such as finance managers, mortgage brokers, credit providers, and accountants.

Financial Regulatory

Financial Regulatory Check will reveal if an individual has been involved in any activities that may make them unsuitable for a position. This check is commonly used for occupations involved with the management and financial dealings of a company such as directors, insurance brokers, investment bankers and mortgage brokers.
