Appointing management board or supervisory board members whose past experience reveals significant deficiencies can seriously damage a company's reputation.

As part of an executive selection service or as a standalone service, ASTRAL Executive Search offers a structured, in-depth background and reputation check on potential candidates designed to reveal insights into a candidate’s reputation, leadership style, abilities and personality that an interview cannot always reveal.

We talk to all the references named by the candidates; additionally, we talk to the cooperation partners and business contacts identified during the research. We check court judgments, bankruptcy notices and credit information. Each candidate is additionally subjected to thorough research and an analysis of Internet resources and social media.

We provide our assessment and point out serious risks to the candidate's reputation.

The information obtained through the reference and reputation research process helps to mitigate the risks associated with management board and supervisory board appointments and can be particularly valuable if the client wishes to independently screen potential candidates who have not been selected through ASTRAL Executive Search.

High business ethics and an impeccable reputation are a must for today's managers.

We assess reputation and collect references both as part of the selection process, as well as a standalone service.
