Candidate Trust & Data Security Survey Results

Our recent survey asked job seekers how they feel about having their personally identifiable information (PII) offshored during the background screening process, and the results reveal a clear pattern: candidates value transparency, data security, and trust in the hiring process. A significant majority expressed concern or hesitation when their data might leave the United States, underscoring the importance of keeping candidate information protected and managed responsibly.

Organizations that prioritize secure, U.S.-based data handling not only maintain compliance but also strengthen candidate confidence, improve hiring outcomes, and reinforce their reputation as trustworthy employers in a competitive hiring landscape.
