Your Annual Screening Program Check-Up.
Think of this as your yearly physical, but for your background check program. We'll walk through the regulatory changes that happened in 2025, preview what's coming in 2026, and give you a simple framework to assess where your program stands.
A Lot Changed in 2025. Here's What You Need to Know.
The background screening landscape shifted significantly last year. New York Clean Slate went live. Minnesota and Virginia followed. Ban the Box expanded to 37+ states. And the Colorado AI Act takes effect.
These aren't hypothetical future concerns - they're changes that are already affecting the reports landing on HR desks across the country.
The good news? You don't need to become a regulatory expert overnight. You just need to understand what actually changed, what's coming next, and the right questions to ask your current provider.
That's exactly what this webinar delivers.
Join us Thursday, February 19th, from 2-3 PM EST!
