home > Executive Due Diligence
Decisions made by senior executives will determine the commercial success of an organization, therefore it is imperative that your senior recruitment decisions are based on accurate and reliable information.
ComSec’s Diligence team will mitigate the risks faced in employing senior executives who are contracted into positions of trust and ensure that the right candidate is suitably employed, based upon their merits, background, integrity, experience and management skills.
However, ComSec has found that all too often senior executive positions and promotions are awarded through “old boy” networks, which could compromise the organisation’s commercial reputation and corporate image.
ComSec’s experienced Diligence team, along with specific and confidential Client consultation will implement a five stage approach:
Validity
- Educational achievements
- Vocational experience
- Credit, financial and employment integrity
Evaluation
- Structured references
- Colleague Opinion
- Management style and skill base
Marketplace Insight
- Unstructured and confidential references
- Client insight and relationships
- Competitor opinion
- Professional standards
Understanding
- Specific strengths and weaknesses
- Candidate suitability
- Operational responsibilities
- Strategy and focus
Reporting
ComSec’s reporting strategy is to give our Clients an evaluation of the candidates’ commercial expertise through confidential, independent and market interpretation and to give Clients real economic value by assisting them with the collection of real intelligence and minimising the potential for costly inaccuracy.
