Every day companies choose Foley Services to help them make strategic staffing decisions. Our Employment Screening Service gives employers the information they need to hire the best possible employees and avoid potential liabilities.

  • ESS uncovers invalid social security numbers. An East Coast company specializing in tree and stump removal used Foley Services' Employment Screening Service to scan nearly 200 workers and learned that nearly half of those employees had invalid social security numbers.
  • Owner relies on ESS for all his hiring decisions. The owner of an oil delivery company says that the price he pays for Foley Services' Employment Screening Service is "money well spent." Since enrolling, he has used the service to screen all of his potential employees. So far, he's opted not to hire the majority of those applicants due to criminal histories and other background information reported by ESS.
  • Company signs up for ESS to avoid another costly mistake. A client signed up for Foley Services' Employment Screening Service after learning that relying on a database search alone can be a costly mistake. That company lost a lucrative contract when the agency it was working for re-scanned the company's employees and revealed that some of them had a criminal history. Not wanting to lose another big job, the company now screens all employees through Foley Services.
