Since the events that shocked our country on Sept. 11, 2001, the employment screening industry has experienced immense growth. Indeed, post-9/11, screening an applicant's background went from being an option in the hiring process to a necessity–a measure to ensure the safety of a company's workers, vendors and customers.
