PreemploymentDirectory.com conducted their annual survey at the SHRM Talent Management Conference this past April with enlighten results. Credit Reporting Agencies (CRAs) should take a look inward to see if they are satisfying their clients’ needs and providing the best product & service to them.  Below is the survey in short form with the full article found here.  We looked close at this survey and asked where we stood.  To Question #1: we have impacted the timeliness challenge with our Quick App process, setting us apart from other CRAs.  The rest of the challenges are not challenges for Data Disclosure Services, just ask our clients.  To Question #2: we are working hard on integration programs with success, and will continue to do so.  With the multitude of software programs used by companies this is a never ending process.  The mobile challenge is put to rest with the Quick App process as well as the rest of our program which is mobile.  We will continue to work on these challenges identified in the industry to better serve our clients and those 9% in Question #4 and 17% in Question #5!
