In this episode of The Background Screening Collective, Meghan, Izzy, and Robin sit down with Andrew Cashman, VP of SPI Researchers, to talk all things PBSA prep. The group shares insights on how to make the most of the conference, from the power of hello to turning surface-level networking into meaningful partnerships.

They also cover how to stand out, be memorable, and keep your energy up through the events (and yes, why you shouldn’t drink too much).

In this episode of The Background Screening Collective, we welcome Bruce Berg, a veteran entrepreneur and key figure in shaping modern background screening who began his career before the turn of the millennium. Bruce reflects on how the events of 9/11 reshaped the industry and shares his perspective on the forces driving change today. The conversation ranges from whether consumer reporting agencies need to become true one stop shops to the likelihood of consolidation and dominance by a few major players, and explores the broader innovations, market pressures, and evolving expectations that will define the next era of background screening.

In this episode, we sit down with Perry Morgan, a seasoned consultant whose career has been deeply rooted in the screening industry. As an early adopter of emerging technologies and practices, he has witnessed the evolution of the field, navigated its challenges, embraced innovation, and played a role in shaping industry standards. Drawing from decades of experience, Perry shares stories from his journey, the lessons he learned on the front lines of change, and the insights he now provides to organizations seeking guidance in an ever-shifting landscape.

Whether you’re a professional in the screening space, an industry newcomer, or simply curious about how innovation drives transformation in complex sectors, this conversation offers a rare inside look at the mindset of someone who has not only kept pace with change but helped push it forward.
