Birmingham Firm Gains National Recognition from Inc. Media
Employment Screening Services Earns Coveted Distinction on the Inc. 5000 List.
Birmingham, AL, August 16, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Birmingham-based Employment Screening Services (ESS), was recently recognized as one of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies by Inc. Magazine (Inc.), a national business publication. This is the thirteenth consecutive year ESS has earned recognition as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the nation. In the 37-year history of the list, only 12 companies have achieved that milestone.
The annual Inc. 5000 list represents a unique look at successful companies and is widely regarded as representing well managed and sustainable businesses. Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
Celebrating their 25th anniversary, ESS provides background screening and drug testing services to clients nationwide. “We are honored to have earned the Inc 5000 recognition,” says Jason Kimbrell, Chief Operating Officer for ESS. “Our growth is a direct reflection of the strong relationships we have with our clients and our ability to deliver a level of certainty and responsiveness that builds loyalty.”
“If your company is on the Inc. 5000, it’s unparalleled recognition of your years of hard work and sacrifice,” says Inc. editor-in-chief James Ledbetter. “The lines of business may come and go, or come and stay. What doesn’t change is the way entrepreneurs create and accelerate the forces that shape our lives.”
ESS was founded in Birmingham by Sheila Benson in 1994 when the concept of pre-employment background checks first began to gain momentum. With the Company’s headquarters firmly planted in Birmingham, they have grown to become a top 10 provider nationally with employees based strategically in key cities across the country.
