Vet a senior hire through people who worked with them
“Who in my network worked with the senior candidate I’m about to hire?”
For a senior hire, the most useful opinion comes from someone who worked with the candidate, not from the references they chose. We rebuild your network’s dated careers and find the contacts who overlapped with the candidate in the same company and the same years.
Who it’s for
CEOs, chairs and founders hiring executives, and partners of search firms.
What we look for in your network
- Contacts who were in the same company at the same time
- Their role then, relative to the candidate
- How well you know each of them
- Who is still in touch with the candidate
- Candidates in your own book for the role

What you receive
For each candidate, who in your network overlapped with them, in which role and when, and how well you know them.
It starts with your network rebuilt in ten working days: careers dated, where you know each person from, how close you were, who can reintroduce you. Delivered in person, as a workbook you can filter, a searchable page and a clean address book for your iPhone.
An NDA before any file is shared. To find someone, only a name and a company leave your address book.
You choose who stays out of the search.
Professional facts only: nothing on wealth, health, religion or legal matters.
Everything deleted at the end, with a dated certificate.
Questions
- Do you investigate candidates?
- No. We only read your own network’s professional careers. Nothing private about the candidate is searched.
- Is the candidate’s name shared?
- Only to match dated careers in public professional profiles, under NDA.
- Can it work for several candidates?
- Yes. Once your network is rebuilt, each candidate is a quick view.
