A New Name. A Bold Future.
We recently announced our official rebrand as AB Global. As we discuss in our press release, this milestone represents a significant transformation that reflects the company’s rapid growth, global reach, and unwavering commitment to innovation and integrity.
With this exciting evolution, AB Global continues to be rooted in integrity as we deliver the Gold Standard in background screening. Our people and processes are rooted in integrity, and this allows us to deliver a service that ultimately allows our clients to make informed hiring decisions with compliance, accuracy, ease, and confidence.
- We use only the highest quality information sources.
- AB Global has one of the highest levels of accuracy in the industry.
- Our process is a balanced combination of advanced technology and skilled, FCRA-certified background screening professionals that oversee every screen and verification.
- AB Global’s Compliance team has decades of experience, and they scrutinize our screening processes and results, as well as provide strategic and operational guidance to our clients.
- Our processes are always transparent, so our clients are never in the dark.
- Every AB Global client is assigned a dedicated FCRA-certified Client Concierge who communicates proactively and ensures that everything runs smoothly for our clients and their HR teams, employees, and candidates.
As part of raising the bar and delivering the Gold Standard for the screening industry, we believe that everyone should know as much as possible about background screening and verifications. This industry has operated behind a curtain for far too long. That’s why AB Global created Screening University™, the industry’s first and only free educational platform for HR professionals and background screening program managers. This initiative is designed to provide cutting-edge courses and industry best practices, allowing HR leaders to stay ahead of evolving compliance standards and hiring trends—all while earning professional development credits at zero cost.

The decision to transition from Alliance Background LLC to AB Global was driven by rapid expansion, enhanced service offerings, and the growing demand for a truly global approach to background screening. The company’s new name reflects its unparalleled industry leadership and commitment to delivering best-in-class screening solutions on a worldwide scale.
AB Global isn’t just a new name—it’s a statement of who we are and where we’re headed.
