Huntersville, NC, March 10, 2026 –(PR.com)– Bchex, a national leader in background screening and safety technology, has earned Great Place To Work Certification™ for 2026–2027. The recognition is based entirely on direct employee feedback: 94% of Bchex employees said it’s a great place to work — 37 points above the U.S. average — and 98% said new employees are made to feel welcome from day one.
“Happy employees make better background checks. It really is that direct.” — Ken Monroe, Founder & CEO, Bchex
Monroe has built Bchex around a simple belief: organizations that take care of their people produce work worth being proud of. In background screening — where accuracy and integrity directly affect employers, job seekers, and entire communities — culture isn’t a soft benefit. It’s a quality control mechanism.
Great Place To Work® VP of Global Recognition Sarah Lewis-Kulin called the certification “a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience,” noting it is the only official recognition based on real-time employee feedback.
Culture Drives Quality. Quality Drives Speed.
At Bchex, the pursuit of quality isn’t a department — it’s a culture. That culture has driven the company to invest heavily in proprietary technology that places Bchex among a small group of screening companies in the country capable of the level of automation and workflow innovation now powering its platform. The result: background checks that are not only more accurate, but dramatically faster.
With average turnaround times often under 15 hours — well below the industry norm — Bchex has proven that the relentless pursuit of quality and speed are not trade-offs. They’re the same thing. A team that cares about doing exceptional work builds technology that reflects it. That’s the connection between a Great Place To Work and a great background check.
Why It Matters
According to Great Place To Work research, employees at Certified companies are 93% more likely to look forward to coming to work and twice as likely to be paid fairly and have a path to promotion. Job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find great leadership at Certified organizations.
