AB Global's Pre-Employment Screening Blog

Seasonal hiring surges are a hallmark of the retail industry, but so is the increased risk that comes with bringing large numbers of new employees on board quickly. While many retailers focus heavily on shoplifting and organized retail crime, insider-driven loss is just as damaging.
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.
