Our History
Founded in 1989, BIG has rapidly grown into the premier applicant screening services provider – serving many of the world’s largest financial services firms.
Over the years, BIG grew into the Vertical Screen family of applicant screening companies, a corporate structure designed to provide customized applicant screening services to specific industries. The Vertical Screen family includes BIG, which exclusively serves the financial services industry, Certiphi Screening, which exclusively serves the healthcare industry, and Truescreen, which serves a full gamut of industries apart from financial services and healthcare. In 2006, we launched sister company Fieldprint, an FBI-approved channeler that provides fingerprinting collection and processing; Form I-9 Section 2 completion and other remote services; badge photography and processing; and fitness determination and adjudication.
Today, many of the world’s largest financial services employers depend on BIG’s industry-specific expertise and technological leadership for customized screening solutions that are unparalleled in the marketplace. Our consistently superior performance in program implementation, execution and customer service support has resulted in a 99 percent client retention rate since the company’s inception.
