Testimonials

I worked with Chris for our background checks for YWCA Minneapolis and he was AMAZING. He is very responsive and will put his customers first. He will send me follow-up emails to ensure that I have completed everything on my end. He is open to feedback and will work his hardest to make sure my needs were fulfilled. Chris has definitely taught me so much regarding background checks and the laws surrounding that and made it really fun. Chris is trustworthy, friendly, and has strong work ethics. I would recommend Chris to anyone looking for a fast and responsive background check vendor. Thank you Chris!
