5th Annual Background Screening Industry Survey

The Annual Background Screening Industry Survey is in its fifth year of collecting information about how employers use background screening for their businesses and communities. By continuing this survey annually, we’re also able to see trends from around the globe. Partnering with HR.com, PBSA is able to collect vital information from thousands of employers around the world, and by encouraging their clients and contacts in the HR space to complete the survey, our members are an integral part of its continued success.

Why is the Survey Important?

By demonstrating the impact of screening to create safe homes and workspaces and highlighting the prevalence of background screening among employers, the information gleaned from this survey benefits PBSA and our members by:

Increasing the impact of the industry as we advocate worldwide to collectively influence positive change for the background screening profession
Reiterating the importance of background screening to employers, resulting in more business for the industry
Positioning PBSA as a thought leader and the premier background screening association in the world, providing even more credibility to PBSA member companies
Generating media coverage that increases brand awareness for PBSA and keeps background screening top-of-mind for employers, lawmakers, regulators and other stakeholders
