The article features Clare Hart, CEO, Sterling Talent Solutions, the largest background screening firm in the world as well as many other women in C-suite level positions roles. While not based on statistical data it is apparent by the number of women in top positions that women are achieving at historic levels in the background screening industry. The majority of the woman included in the article are either Chief Executive Officers, Chief Operation Officers or in senior operational or strategic roles.

Each of these women offer insights into their journey to the top and also share what they have been reading as well as their favorite quotes.

W. Barry Nixon, COO, PreemploymentDirectory.com and author of the article, said, “This article is a testament to the competency, tenacity and hard word of women that have excelled at what they do and risen to the top of their organizations. The road was not easy for any of them, however, they persevered, worked hard and as Julie Hakman, CEO, American Checked stated “I
believe in persistence and determination, when I commit to something there is no going back, no quitting, no saying no.”

The article points out that the success of women in the industry is not confined to their respective companies, but is also demonstrated in the leadership of industry association that represents and is the voice of screening professionals, the National Association for Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS). To date NAPBS has had sixteen Board Chairs and seven have been women or 44%. In addition, the Executive Director of NAPBS is Melissa Sorensen who is featured in the article.

Nixon, added, “This article should serve as an inspiration to all women and illustrate that it is possible to excel and be rewarded for hard work. The background screening industry is a shining example of what can happen when the glass ceiling is shattered.
