OUR HISTORY
On May 12, 1989, in a small Philadelphia apartment on a single Apple Macintosh computer, Business Information Group (BIG) launched as a new applicant screening company. Since then, we have grown into the Vertical Screen family of screening companies, including Business Information Group, Certiphi Screening and Truescreen.
Since our humble beginnings, while much has changed, one thing remains the same – our single-minded approach of providing our clients with applicant screening services that are relentlessly accurate, efficient and reliable. By recognizing the need for industry specialization in applicant screening, Vertical Screen has established itself as a premier applicant screening services provider. Our corporate structure, along with our ISO quality-certified services and innovative technologies, allows each of our companies to continually attract, retain and service the world's largest and most respected organizations, corporations and government entities.
OUR HEADQUARTERS
Vertical Screen’s commitment to sustainability is obvious, even before you walk through our front door.
Our 49,600 square foot headquarters was built on a 9-acre Brownfield site that was once home to the former Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC) and is outfitted with an array of 900 solar panels. Once inside you’ll notice sunlight coursing through our two 40-foot-high glass curtain walls, our natural material selection and indoor “living walls” adorned with live plants that provide fresh oxygen. All in all, our building consumes approximately 50 to 60 percent less energy than a standard office building. This savings frees up valuable resources that can be better spent creating jobs, recruiting and retaining talent, expanding operations and investing in cutting-edge technologies.
