Warranted or not, many brands and organizations have been brought to their knees by the behavior of various personnel. We often see this occur at whiplash speeds thanks to viral stories, outrage campaigns on social media, and overwhelming media coverage. While this vitriol may only be related to one person’s bad behavior or error in judgment, contemporary society has shown how you can bear the sins of another.
One misstep can have disastrous repercussions when millions (or billions) of dollars in revenue are at stake, not to mention countless careers and livelihoods. Due to these high stakes, Reveille Advisors offers comprehensive executive and personnel screenings.
Modern leaders often operate within the public sphere, whether through professional social media accounts, branded content, speeches, or other media inclusions. Due to this visibility, executive hiring committees or in-house recruiters should consider conducting a deep dive into candidate backgrounds.
Unlike what can be disclosed by a $19.99 background check online or by referencing a contact’s LinkedIn profile, Reveille Advisors’ screening process will look for vulnerabilities in prospective leaders that could be problematic for the organization.
We achieve this by using open-source intelligence (OSINT) to explore the far corners of the accessible internet and public record databases for fact-checking and background information. We then perform comprehensive social media sweeps for possibly inflammatory statements or difficult-to-explain connections.
We’ll also assess known interests for conflicts and audit their primary associates. If possible, we will also scrutinize investments and assets.
Including personnel screenings and character vetting in your organization’s processes can have lasting effects by reducing your exposure to risk in the future. Similar to our executive searches, we research traditional personnel and new hires.
This includes background reviews (Fair Credit Reporting Act-compliant options are available), social media sweeps, and verification of past employment, salary, education, location history, and more. The intent is to identify those who are too risky or have had poor behavior in the past, which could negatively affect your organization.
Some leaders will see a competitor or familiar brand experience hostile ridicule and develop concerns for their own vitality. That’s for good reason, too, as there can be a depth of separation in large organizations. Members of different departments or management roles are disconnected and may not even know who really works for them.
Like competitor and opposition research, we audit your organization and personnel’s visibility and vulnerabilities. The good news is that you’re in control of that information and not your adversaries. This gives you the time and tact to address issues internally while avoiding embarrassing or challenging public inquiries.
We want you to make informed hiring decisions that reduce the risk of potential hardships for your organization. Nothing is guaranteed in life, but one can insulate oneself from those who wish to mislead during the hiring process, carry too much baggage to be the face of your brand, or have behaved internally with misconduct.
