Candidate Trust & Data Security Survey Results

Our latest research examined how both HR professionals and U.S. job candidates feel about the offshoring of personal identifiable information (PII) during the background screening process. The findings revealed a clear consensus: transparency, security, and responsible data stewardship matter to everyone involved in the hiring process.

Today’s employers are expected to do more than hire the right people. They are expected to protect the sensitive information candidates entrust to them throughout every stage of the hiring journey. As organizations evaluate their background screening partners, understanding where candidate data is processed, who has access to it, and how it is protected has become an important part of managing both organizational risk and candidate trust.

Organizations that prioritize secure, transparent handling of candidate information not only strengthen compliance, they also reinforce their employer brand, create a better candidate experience, and demonstrate a commitment to protecting one of their most valuable assets: the personal information of every applicant.

Behind the Mask: Why Verification Matters in Hiring

October is a season of costumes, disguises, and first impressions. Children transform into superheroes, villains, and movie characters. Front porches are decorated with pumpkins and cobwebs.

The Story Behind The Gold Standard in Background Screening®

I’ve been around background screening since I was twelve years old. Which, admittedly, is probably not what most twelve-year-olds would choose to spend their time thinking about.
