In this episode of Behind the Screens, I sit down with an incredible panel of women leaders across the background screening industry to talk about how they built their careers, what keeps them engaged, and how the industry continues to evolve.

What stands out is a shared theme: no one planned this career, but once they entered the industry, they stayed. Why? Because of the constant change, the investigative nature of the work, and the real impact on people’s lives.

We also explore how women are shaping the future of screening through leadership, collaboration, and a more holistic approach to problem-solving.

This is a conversation about growth, mentorship, and finding your place in an industry that never stands still.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why background screening becomes a long-term career for many professionals
  • How curiosity and problem-solving drive success in the industry
  • The evolving role of women in leadership across screening organizations
  • Why mentorship and community are critical for career growth
  • How PBSA supports education, networking, and industry standards
  • The importance of collaboration, empathy, and listening in leadership
  • Practical advice for newcomers entering the screening industry

This episode is for you if:

  • You’re building a career in background screening, HR, or compliance
