Well it’s been six months in the making and we’ve finally officially launched our redesigned EmployeeScreen University.

Because I’m lazy (hey it’s Friday), I’ll give you the high point of the improvements as told through our press release.

Originally launched in March, 2008, EmployeeScreen University is the first online educational resource for HR, security and risk-management professionals, featuring regularly updated, free background screening information aimed to help organizations make better hiring decisions.

“The site was already rich with our expert and guest articles, the EmployeeScreenIQ Blog, legislative updates and notifications of current court delays,” says Nick Fishman, EmployeeScreenIQ’s chief marketing officer and executive vice president. “Now we’ve added new features to the site that make it far more valuable to visitors, including user polls, Social Networking plug-ins, videos and podcasts. The end result is an enhanced user experience for our clients and the overall marketplace.”

The company has produced a new video that speaks to the exciting changes, which can be viewed at http://university.employeescreen.com.

“We introduced this concept to the screening industry in 2008 and it has been rewarding to see it grow,” said EmployeeScreenIQ president and chief operating officer, Jason B. Morris. “There is nothing out there like this, so this re-launch has been cool because we were competing with ourselves to see just how much we could innovate.”

EmployeeScreenIQ Awarded GSA Schedule for Employment Background Checks and Screening

Schedule allows global background screening provider to expedite process of securing government contracts

Cleveland, OH / January 6, 2010 – EmployeeScreenIQ, a global leader in employment background screening services, has been awarded the GSA Schedule for Human Resources Services from the General Services Administration (GSA).

The schedule, contract number GS-02F0073W, allows EmployeeScreenIQ to provide services to government agencies as an authorized vendor and expedites the process of obtaining government contracts.

“In the private sector we’ve been an industry innovator in best practices and compliance, and we think this experience translates well to government agencies,” says EmployeeScreenIQ president and chief operating officer Jason B. Morris. “Properly screening employees has never been more important. Why shouldn’t the government have access to the same thorough and effective employment background checks as private industry?”

EmployeeScreenIQ will offer a host of services to government agencies that allows them to make informed hiring decisions including criminal background checks, substance abuse screening, resume verification services, driving records, sex offender registry searches, credit reports and more.
GSA oversees the business of the U.S. federal government. GSA’s acquisition solutions supplies federal purchasers with cost-effective high-quality products and services from commercial vendors. GSA affects almost $66 billion in financial transactions throughout the government.
