PreemploymentDirectory.com releases three background screening research reports

PreemploymentDirectory.com says it is sharing three new research reports for background screening and HR professionals as hiring teams face a fast-changing market. The reports add current guidance for employers, vendors and reporters tracking the global screening industry. Why it matters: - Background screening touches most employers, with PBSA and SHRM saying more than 92% of businesses conduct some form of background check. - The industry is now a multibillion-dollar market, which raises the need for current research, vendor intelligence and compliance updates. - PreemploymentDirectory.com positions the reports as a free, neutral source of information for HR leaders, recruiters and screening professionals. What happened: - PreemploymentDirectory.com announced the release of three research reports for the background screening industry on June 15, 2026. - The reports include First Advantage’s 2026 Global Workforce Trends Report. - The reports also include HireRight’s survey on how HR leaders are navigating a changing hiring environment in Australia and India. - The company said the reports are intended to help both outsourced screening professionals and internal teams stay current on industry developments. The details: - PreemploymentDirectory.com says it has served background screening professionals worldwide for more than 20 years. - The site says it has the largest global directory of providers and vendors dedicated exclusively to background screening. - The company says thousands of screening firms, employers and recruiters use the service. - PreemploymentDirectory.com publishes The Background Buzz, an industry newsletter, and The Global Background Screener, which it describes as the only e-magazine focused on international screening. - The company says it is a trusted resource for PBSA members, HR leaders and compliance professionals. - PreemploymentDirectory.com says it is neutral, independent and unbiased, unlike background screening providers and vendor blogs. - The company said the reports can also help reporters writing about background screening access current content. - W. Barry Nixon, COO of PreemploymentDirectory.com, said the site is a hub of background screening information and intelligence. - PreemploymentDirectory.com provides free consultation to employers choosing a background screening firm. - Nixon is the founder of PreemploymentDirectory.com, co-author of Background Screening Investigations: Managing Hiring Risk from an HR and Security Perspective, and a past recipient of Security Magazine’s Most Influential People in Security award. - Nixon also publishes an annual Background Screening Industry Resource Guide and has been named one of the Top Ten Influencers in the background screening industry. Between the lines: - The release reinforces PreemploymentDirectory.com’s role as a distribution point for third-party research rather than a provider of screening services. - Sharing reports from First Advantage and HireRight gives the site a way to reach HR and compliance audiences with industry intelligence tied to major screening vendors. - The company is leaning on its editorial and directory footprint to stay relevant in a market where employers want faster access to guidance and trend data. What’s next: - PreemploymentDirectory.com said questions about the announcement should go to W. Barry Nixon. - The company is likely to continue packaging research, newsletters and guides for the background screening and HR community. - The reports may also serve as source material for future coverage of hiring, screening and compliance trends. The bottom line: - PreemploymentDirectory.com is using two major industry reports to reinforce its position as a central information hub for background screening professionals.
