What does it take to stay ahead in the background screening industry while juggling a passion for music, fly fishing, and skiing?
Jason Morris has done it all. From shadowing private investigation cases as a kid to launching one of the most recognized background screening companies, he’s built a career on curiosity, adaptability, and bold decision-making. In this episode, I sit down with Jason to unpack his journey—how he went from tracking down cheating spouses to founding Employer Screen IQ, growing it into a powerhouse, and eventually selling it to Sterling. We dive into the evolution of the background screening industry, the role of PBSA, and the biggest compliance challenges today. Plus, we explore Jason’s life outside of screening—his love for live music, fly fishing, and even managing a jam band. It’s an episode packed with industry insights, business wisdom, and a few wild stories. You won’t want to miss it!
