HRO Today Names Orange Tree Employment Screening One of Nation’s Top Background Screening Firms

Orange Tree Appears for First Time on National Client Satisfaction List

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HRO Today magazine, the nation’s leading resource on human resources outsourcing, has named Orange Tree Employment Screening one of the nation’s top 13 background screening providers in its 2011 Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Ratings. Orange Tree was ranked 10^th overall.

“By truly learning our clients’ businesses and industries and their specific screening needs, not only do we better serve our clients, but also consistently improve our own operations and services.”

HRO Today based its ratings on confidential survey data collected from more than 750 customers of background screening providers. Survey recipients were asked to rate providers based on such metrics as service breadth, scope and scale, and quality. Orange Tree ranked first among screening providers for service breadth. Provider rankings were determined based exclusively on customer survey data, not on HRO Today staff input.

“We’re thrilled to be named to the HRO Today list of the nation’s top screening providers. It is really a tribute to the Orange Tree customer care team and our consultative, problem-solving approach for clients,” said Renee Ernste, COO, Orange Tree. “By truly learning our clients’ businesses and industries and their specific screening needs, not only do we better serve our clients, but also consistently improve our own operations and services.”

Earlier this year, Orange Tree received accreditation from the National Association of Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS), a designation granted to screening firms for their excellence, accountability, professionalism and ongoing organizational improvement. Orange Tree is the only background screening firm in the nation to be accredited by the NAPBS and certified by the Substance Abuse Program Administrators Association.

This is the first year that Orange Tree was considered for the HRO Today Baker’s Dozen ratings of background check providers. For more information about the HRO Today survey, click here.
