Back in 1982 when Employee Check (a division of Tenant Screening Services LLC) was first started very few employers did any type of employment screening. When we would contact them about employment screening they would say well why do we need to do that we don't have any problems without employees. In the 8O's I guess most employers would hire friend's relatives and by word of mouth with a hand shake as a commitment of their working agreements. America has really changed since 09/11/2001. This brought out the awareness that we needed to know a little more about who we employee. The old hand shake was no longer good enough. This was really the birth of employment screening. Today the number of . employment screening background checks goes up daily. In a weak economy the numbers may fall some but the employment screening industry is a booming industry.
