So, here’s the thing: background screening isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s a must. Just like I need that 4th cup of coffee to keep me alert, your business needs thorough screening to stay sharp and avoid surprises. And, just like I wouldn’t settle for a weak cup of coffee, you shouldn’t settle for a "standard" background check that doesn’t go far enough. Let me tell you why.
It’s about more than just checking boxes or meeting minimum requirements. It’s about creating a process rooted in accuracy, fairness, and compliance—values that protect both employers and candidates.
See how candidates feel about offshoring their personal data. Discover insights on trust, transparency, and data security in background screening.
Every October, organizations across the U.S. spotlight one essential truth: cybersecurity isn’t optional, it’s critical. Since 2004, Cybersecurity Awareness Month has served as a reminder to stop and ask, “Are we really protecting the people behind the data?” At AB Global, that question guides everything we do. Protecting people isn’t just a policy, it’s our purpose. Because background screening isn’t just about data, it’s about people’s stories, their identities, and their trust.
When I founded AB Global, it wasn’t just about building a business. It was about creating something worth protecting, something I could pour my whole self into. Just like a child, a company needs nurturing, structure, and a steady hand to guide it through challenges. There are tough days, of course, but leading with heart means I don’t step back when things get hard. I lean in.
Even well-intentioned employers can stumble into compliance trouble with background checks. Why? Because some of the biggest risks hide in plain sight, areas that most companies overlook until it’s too late. Let’s shine a light on the blind spots that can trip up HR teams and provide tactical guidance to help you stay compliant and confident.
