Had the Trudeau government, and more broadly Canadians, looked past Payette’s remarkable achievements as a scientist, pilot and astronaut — not to mention, someone who also speaks six languages and is a Juno-nominated musician — perhaps we would have noticed the red flags much earlier. With a quick referral check, we would have discovered that Payette left her role at the Montreal Science Centre in 2016 after employees complained of verbal abuse. (Toronto Star February 6 2021)

Our experienced interviewers engage the referee in a discussion, not a Q&A, over the phone, never by email.
We ask insightful questions that get to the heart of how your candidate thinks, interacts, and communicates. We seek your input on specific areas to probe based on your interview experience with the candidate, and we review your position brief to ensure questions are tailored to what is truly important to you. Your candidate’s CV is compared to information gathered from the referee to cross-check work relationships, roles, and timing. Responses are analysed during the conversation and potential areas of concern are probed.
Information is synthesized in a clear, concise report with useful quantitative and qualitative information that can be used to support both your hiring decision and your candidate’s transition into their new role.

Education
Our verification process protects you from inconsistent or fabricated education claims by your candidate. If the education cannot be verified as accurate, what else might they have embellished? And how will that affect your organisation?
Let ExecuCheck confirm your candidate’s highest completed level of education.
Professional Designations
ExecuCheck confirms with professional certification bodies that the status of a designation is current and accurate.
Exit Interviews
Is turnover high, but you have no idea why? Are you investing in the development of employees only to have them leave?
Exit interviews are an invaluable tool to uncovering, and then fixing, systemic issues that negatively impact employee retention.
Project Coordination
Are you currently managing the background check process on your own? Do you need support but are not yet ready to hire a full-time Project Coordinator?
ExecuCheck can take background checks off your plate on a contingency basis. Connect us with your candidate, and we will coordinate the entire background check process on your behalf. Leverage our relationships in the industry to free up your time to focus on growing your business and servicing your clients.

Social Media and Internet Search
Protecting your brand is more important than ever. We scan social media and the Internet to provide a sampling of your candidate’s public profile of the past five years.
Anything deemed inappropriate for a professional setting will be flagged. Specifically, any hate speech, insults and bullying, obscene language, threats of violence, toxic language, drug-related images, explicit/racy images, or violent images in their social media profile.
We also capture samples of articles/publications, volunteerism, community recognition, and awards that demonstrate the positive aspects of your candidate’s character.
