If you are in a decision-making role in this industry and you are waiting for a law, a court case, or a webinar to tell you what to do next, Kevin Bachman has a message for you: nobody is coming to save you.
Kevin has been in background screening for 25 years, starting in radio and television news before falling into the industry while finishing a master's degree. He has seen it from inside a growing CRA, through a Sterling acquisition, and out the other side as a consultant who now helps companies ranging from scrappy startups to private equity firms figure out what it actually takes to build and run a screening business. What he has learned along the way is not theoretical. It is the kind of hard-won knowledge that only comes from being in the room when things go right and when they do not.
Pro Conversation You Don't Want to Miss!
- Why ethics and moral fiber are not soft skills in background screening, and the Warren Buffett principle Kevin has carried since week two of his career: it takes a lifetime to build a reputation and a minute to destroy one
- The $5 to $10 million revenue zone where founders often become the ceiling of their own company, and what it actually takes to break through it
- Why background screening is not a commodity, and how two completely opposite business philosophies can both win if you know which one you are and commit to it
- A decade on the PBSA Background Screening Credentialing Council and what watching three waves of industry leadership looks like from the inside
- The message every decision-maker in this industry needs to hear: nobody is coming to save you. No regulation, no court case, no webinar will give you permission. You have to make the call.
