BEACON Property Data Collection Services partners with ShieldHub to support occupant safety and improve contractor risk awareness

ShieldHub, a criminal background risk scoring and monitoring technology solution for independent contractors, is pleased to announce that it has been selected by BEACON Property Data Collection Services as a preferred screening solution for its panel of over 5000 vendors including inspectors, property data collectors and field service professionals. ShieldHub will be providing a portable, living background risk scoring solution that includes integrated digital identity validation, a multi-year and multi-county background check with continuous monitoring.

“We’re extremely pleased and appreciative that BEACON Property Data Collection Services has selected ShieldHub to assist them in supporting a fully compliant and continuously monitored contractor workforce that emphasizes occupant safety.” stated Shane Copeland, CEO of ShieldHub. “When implementing their strategic growth initiatives, BEACON Property Data Collection Services discovered that the clarity and portability of ShieldScore would simplify vendor engagement by ensuring that contractors are continuously monitored and ready for work. BEACON Property Data Collection Services will be able to engage vendors through their own private branded portal that manages the entire process and provides continuous feedback that always identifies potential risk within their contractor panel.”

“Ensuring proper background screening on over 5000 vendors can be a daunting task,” said Brett Powers, EVP and Managing Director. “At BEACON Property Data Collection Services, occupant safety and security are priority one. To ensure the safety of home occupants and their property, it’s essential for us to obtain a current background check at the time of engagement. That often required our vendors to purchase multiple background checks per year. With ShieldHub, knowing that the score is continuously checked against national crime databases provides confidence and certainty that our vendors are qualified and eligible.”

ShieldHub is a Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) compliant criminal background-monitoring technology solution that enables a risk composite ShieldScore™ indicator for managing risk while engaging independent contractors. Unlike periodic background checks, ShieldHub includes continuous 24/7 monitoring and alerts when an independent contractor is out of compliance with the client’s risk policy. ShieldHub assigns each user a unique anonymized ShieldID™ (ABC#) that provides partners with evidence of risk compliance and assurance to independent contractors that they have control of limiting the sharing of sensitive personal information with multiple clients or partners. Additionally, since the ShieldID™ number is owned by the individual, for the first-time independent contractors have complete portability to share their score to any ShieldHub partner while avoiding the redundant and costly nature of multiple background checks.
