Mintz Group
Mintz Group is the gold standard for background checking of executive and board candidates. For over 25 years, our mission has been to help search firms and their clients make confident, well-informed hiring decisions, while advising them on best practices and helping them stay ahead of emerging trends in diligence, compliance, technology and reputation management.
From long list to finalist — across the globe — we partner closely with search firms to verify candidates’ qualifications and identify inconsistencies, omissions or controversies that may exist in their backgrounds. Our spectrum of services integrates seamlessly into the search process, scaling in depth as the risk increases, enabling search firms to deliver the highest quality candidates at every stage. Our reviews go beyond basic online searches, drawing on a wide range of records and sources, often uncovering new and at times critical information that was beyond the reach of the search firm’s internal resources.
By combining the judgment of seasoned investigators with cutting-edge digital tools, Mintz delivers clear, efficient insights that lead to confident hiring decisions. We help answer several critical questions:
- Has the candidate ever been in criminal or regulatory trouble?
- Have they been truthful about their background?
- Was the candidate successful and trustworthy at past jobs?
- Have they been accused of workplace misconduct?
- Do the candidate’s personal statements, as evidenced in social media and other sources, reflect the values of the prospective employer?
We work very quickly, and our process is always discreet, ethical, and compliant with privacy requirements in every jurisdiction — giving search firms and their clients decision‑ready intelligence that withstands boardroom scrutiny, media attention, and regulatory review.
Mintz has been a proud Global Partner of the AESC for more than 12 years, and we now offer two exclusive benefits to its Members:
