Pre-Employment Investigations and CV Verification (HR Due Diligence)

The recruitment of a senior executive, business partner, or employee with access to sensitive data is a critical decision. A hiring mistake based on falsified information can prove extremely costly for your company.

Today, embellishing résumés or omitting compromising information has become increasingly common. Before entrusting someone with the keys to your organization, our investigators conduct thorough and fully lawful background checks (HR Due Diligence) to ensure the integrity and genuine professional background of your candidates.

Our investigations aim to discreetly compare the candidate’s statements with verified facts:

• Verification of professional experience: Confirmation of positions actually held, precise responsibilities, and the genuine reasons for leaving previous employers.
• Authentication of qualifications: Validation of degrees, certifications, and professional credentials with the issuing institutions.
• Reputation analysis (OSINT): Collection of relevant publicly available information, assessment of online reputation, and identification of potential risk behaviors incompatible with the position.

Financial background checks: Review of prior bankruptcies or debt enforcement proceedings (within legally permitted limits), particularly for positions involving financial responsibility.

Reference checks and pre-employment investigations are strictly regulated under Swiss law (data protection and protection of the employee’s personal rights).

Our agency guarantees a 100% lawful and proportionate approach. We collect only the information that is strictly necessary and relevant to the position concerned (Article 328b of the Swiss Code of Obligations). You can therefore make your recruitment decisions with confidence, minimizing the risk of subsequent disputes related to the hiring process while safeguarding the integrity of your company.
