What's a Directorship check?
A directorship check involves a search on a candidate's directorships or named roles in companies. This information is helpful to employers who wish to verify that an applicant has previously been a director of a company and whether there were any associated incidents such as bankruptcies or disqualifications.
Why conduct a directorship check?
Conducting directorship checks is an essential part of the hiring process for leadership roles, ensuring legal compliance, mitigating risk, and identifying potential conflicts of interest. By assessing whether a candidate has been disqualified from directorial duties in the past, companies can avoid potential legal complications and protect their reputation. Additionally, these checks reveal if a candidate holds a directorship that could conflict with their responsibilities in the new role.
