IDS Backgrounds has been helping companies with their employee screening program for more than a decade. We specialize in employment screening. Our staff is knowledgeable with decades of experience in the industry. Our focus is on providing the fastest turnaround times, excellent customer service, and the most accurate information available.

From sole proprietorships to our many Fortune 100 companies, we feature programs designed to service clients of all sizes from coast to coast and beyond. We would be happy to put together a proposal that addresses your company's individual needs. While some screening can be done by employers, there are far greater benefits in hiring an outside service such as IDS Backgrounds:

Pre-employment screening must be done within the guidelines and restrictions of the law - IDS Backgrounds makes sure these restrictions are met.
Because of IDS Backgrounds' professional resources, we can conduct thorough screening faster and far less expensively.
Investigations conducted by a third party are not only more objective, they also decrease your liability of litigation since we take time to analyze each report. We do not give you any of the information routinely included on reports that employers should not see by law.
Our knowledge and expertise allows us to recognize the subtle clues of employment problems that you may overlook in your screening process.
