2024 has proven to have been yet another amazing year. We’re eager to reflect on lessons learned, awesome new features additions and other key topics from the year. |
New Insight With the Applicant PortalEarlier this year, we introduced an exciting new feature that accelerates the screening process and empowers you to obtain up-to-the-minute details about the status of your reports. Our Applicant Portal established a direct line of communication between us and the people you screen so we can quickly obtain necessary documents, correct data errors and avoid delays. It also gives you a convenient location to see what’s happening with each order so you can be informed and prepared. |
Knowledge Gained from Industry ConferencesThroughout the year, members of our team participated in conferences held by the Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA), Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and other prominent organizations. These events offer opportunities for us to learn about upcoming laws, new products and HR best practices. We take what we learn and create useful educational resources that you can enjoy at no cost. |

We are grateful for your partnership and for so many of you taking time to offer this valuable feedback. |
