VERICON RESOURCES CELEBRATES 20 YEARS IN HIGHLY COMPETITIVE
Background Investigation Industry
Atlanta - Vericon Resources, an entirely female owned and operated, WBENC-certified (Women's Business Enterprise National Council) pre-employment background investigation company celebrates 20 years in the employment screening industry on October 11, 2008.
In 1988, Marcia Thiel, co-founder and CEO of Vericon, identified and responded to the growing need of human resources departments to have accurate and thorough applicant information in order to make intelligent and safe hiring choices. Out of this need, Vericon became one of the first companies to develop a user-friendly, Web-based software application for clients. These proprietary software applications, eEmployMe, FactsTrack Online and DirectCheck offer clients 24-hour access to reporting results. Job candidates can also submit application information online.
Over the past 20 years, Vericon's software technology has grown to include integration with a client’s own Human Resource Information System (HRIS) system. This creates a seamless partnership and saves time and money.
The Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) reports that 80% of HR professionals use pre-employment screening.
In this $4 Billion industry, there are currently over 1,500 small, medium and large screening firms, over 2,000 public record retrievers and 30+ software and data providers.
In a very competitive marketplace, Vericon continues to be successful by focusing on high quality customer service, responsiveness, knowledge of the industry, quality of report information, competitive pricing, and program customization.
Vericon services include criminal searches, address history checks, social security verification, credit reports, motor vehicle reports, employment verifications, drug testing, professional reference checks, sex offender checks, I-9 verification and more.
