Candidate Trust & Data Security Survey Results

Our latest research examined how both HR professionals and U.S. job candidates feel about the offshoring of personal identifiable information (PII) during the background screening process. The findings revealed a clear consensus: transparency, security, and responsible data stewardship matter to everyone involved in the hiring process.

Today’s employers are expected to do more than hire the right people. They are expected to protect the sensitive information candidates entrust to them throughout every stage of the hiring journey. As organizations evaluate their background screening partners, understanding where candidate data is processed, who has access to it, and how it is protected has become an important part of managing both organizational risk and candidate trust.

Organizations that prioritize secure, transparent handling of candidate information not only strengthen compliance, they also reinforce their employer brand, create a better candidate experience, and demonstrate a commitment to protecting one of their most valuable assets: the personal information of every applicant.

Labor Day is often viewed as the unofficial end of summer. It brings barbecues, long weekends, and one final chance to enjoy the warm weather before autumn arrives. Yet the holiday was created for a much more significant purpose: to recognize the contributions of American workers and the value of honest labor.
