Company History
Bchex, originally founded as Background Investigation Bureau, began in 1995 with the goal of helping organizations make safer and more informed hiring decisions through reliable background screening.
In its early years, the company focused on delivering high-quality investigative services and building strong relationships with organizations that needed dependable screening solutions. As hiring regulations, compliance requirements, and workplace risks grew more complex, the company expanded its capabilities to support a wider range of industries and organizations.
Over time, the company invested in technology to improve the speed, efficiency, and accuracy of background screening. These advancements allowed Bchex to streamline the screening process while maintaining the high standards of service that had defined the company since its founding.
As the needs of employers continued to evolve, Bchex expanded beyond traditional background checks into a broader safety and risk management platform. The company introduced new technology solutions designed to help organizations manage screening, monitoring, and safety across the entire lifecycle of employees, volunteers, and visitors.
Today, Bchex continues to build on nearly three decades of experience by combining technology, expertise, and education to support organizations across the United States in creating safer workplaces and communities.
