Backgrounds Online was honored as a top background screening company in 2025.
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Dec. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Backgrounds Online - http://www.backgroundsonline.com/ - a 25+ year leader in the background check industry, was again ranked as one of the top 13 screening providers in the United States by HRO Today. This is the eighth consecutive year Backgrounds Online has received that accolade.
The Baker's Dozen For Employment Screening
Each year, HRO Today, a prominent Human Resources organization, publishes an online survey that asks employers to review the Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs) they rely on for employment screening services. The survey includes 40 questions that gauge the respondent's overall satisfaction with their provider.
CRAs ask their clients to complete the survey and share candid feedback about the level of service and quality of products they receive. The results are used to create a list of the top background screeners in the country. To qualify, CRAs must receive strong scores in three primary categories:
- Breadth of service
- Size of deal
- Quality of service
Survey Results
HRO Today keeps the survey live for about one month. Once it's closed, the organization's trusted staff members securely review and meticulously analyze each response. As part of their due diligence efforts, they also verify that the IP address used for each submission comes from a valid business that works with the background check provider they reviewed. This ensures the results accurately reflect the opinions of active clients.
In late November, HRO Today hosted a virtual event at which they announced the results of their 2025 survey for background check providers. Backgrounds Online was honored to be named on the list for the eighth consecutive year.
"We are incredibly proud to earn a spot on this prestigious list yet again." said Chris Ballas, CEO of Backgrounds Online. "Because the Baker's Dozen rankings are based exclusively on feedback from actual clients, this shows us that our continued efforts to provide a full suite of screening products, white-glove service, and actionable data are noticed and appreciated. We will always strive to be the best possible Consumer Reporting Agency and help our clients make informed decisions while building strong teams."
