Board Service Verification.

Hiring a C-suite executive based on their impressive handshake and polished LinkedIn profile? That's not due diligence - that's wishful thinking with a seven-figure salary attached. Board service verification cuts through the executive theater to reveal whether your high-level candidate has the governance experience they claim, or if their "board expertise" comes from playing Monopoly.

What Board Service Verification Provides

Board service verification goes far deeper than checking if someone attended a few meetings. CIChecked's comprehensive board service searches examine actual governance roles, fiduciary responsibilities, committee participation, and any board-related controversies that somehow never made it onto their executive bio. We verify positions on corporate boards, nonprofit boards, advisory boards, and professional association boards - because knowing the difference between advising and governing matters when you're paying executive compensation.

• Governance Experience That's Real: No more discovering your new CEO's "extensive board experience" consisted of advising their neighbor's food truck business - our verification confirms legitimate governance roles with fiduciary responsibility.
• Red Flag Detection: Board service verification uncovers conflicts of interest, removed board members, governance failures, and legal issues that executive search firms somehow missed during their "thorough" vetting process.
• Regulatory Compliance: Many industries require board-level executives to have proven governance experience - our verification ensures you're not hiring someone whose board service doesn't meet regulatory standards.
• Fiduciary Responsibility Validation: Board service isn't just attending meetings and eating catered lunches - it's a legal responsibility for organizational oversight, and our verification confirms candidates understand that distinction.
  
  

The Stakes Are Higher Than Your Regular Hire

One unqualified board member can trigger shareholder lawsuits, regulatory sanctions, and governance failures that destroy decades of corporate reputation. Board service verification protects against executives who confuse corporate governance with corporate buzzwords, ensuring your leadership team understands the legal and ethical responsibilities that come with fiduciary duty.

Traditional employment verification stops at job titles and dates - board service verification examines the substance behind the service. We investigate committee participation, governance achievements, board dismissals, and conflicts of interest that basic employment checks never uncover. CIChecked's investigative approach reveals whether candidates contributed to effective governance or simply collected board stipends.

The "Reputation Assumption" Problem

Here's the executive hiring trap: organizations skip comprehensive verification because the candidate comes with stellar references and industry reputation. Then they discover their new board member was quietly removed from previous boards for attendance issues, conflicts of interest, or governance failures that somehow escaped industry gossip. Professional verification prevents expensive reputation-based hiring mistakes.

Board-level compensation demands board-level verification. CIChecked's board service verification examines governance roles across multiple jurisdictions, confirms regulatory compliance, and identifies any governance-related litigation or disciplinary actions. We provide the investigative depth that matches the responsibility level of executive positions.

Bottom Line: Your competition is conducting comprehensive board service verification while you're making executive hiring decisions based on reputation and referrals. CIChecked's verification process protects your organization from governance disasters disguised as executive talent. When someone joins your board or senior leadership team, their governance experience should be verified, not assumed.
