HR ProFile: 30+ Years of Trusted Employment Screening Excellence

Founded in 1991 by Mark Owens, HR ProFile (HRP) has built its reputation as a trusted leader in employment screening by delivering precision, integrity, and innovation at every stage of the hiring process. For over three decades, we’ve helped organizations—ranging from fast-growing startups to Fortune 500 corporations—make informed, confident hiring decisions that protect their workforce and preserve their culture.

Our mission has always been clear: to provide the most accurate, timely, and cost-effective background checks and drug testing solutions available—without sacrificing quality or service. And that mission remains more important today than ever before.

As HR and Security professionals navigate increased regulatory complexity, leaner teams, and the relentless pressure to find top talent, we understand that cutting corners on screening can come at a steep cost. We’ve heard the stories—missed felony convictions, costly hires, workplace incidents—and we built our business to ensure those stories don’t repeat themselves.

In fact, HRP pioneered several industry-first practices that have since become standards of excellence:

• We were the first Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA) to reverse-engineer skip trace information to identify county-level criminal records beyond applicant-reported addresses—revealing over 97% of convictions that would otherwise have gone undetected.
• In 1992, we launched the industry’s first proprietary online screening software, forever changing the way companies access and manage employment data.

Today, our technology continues to lead the industry. But while our tools are advanced, our philosophy is simple:
Real screening requires real people.
We don’t rely solely on databases, voicemail systems, or automated responses. Our clients get dedicated support from seasoned professionals who understand what’s at stake with every hire.

This people-first approach has earned us remarkable client loyalty—52% of our clients have partnered with us for 10 to 25 years or longer. That’s not just a number; it’s a testament to the trust, confidence, reliability, and performance we bring to every partnership.

What sets HR ProFile apart is more than just our history or our technology—it’s our unwavering commitment to caring about your business as much as you do. We don’t just help you check boxes; we help you build a safer, stronger workforce.
