On March 25, 2002, Personnel Profiles of Mesa, AZ went "Live" with the initial release of the FRS Vendor-Net application. This web-based solution is designed to complement The Flexible Research System (FRS) by providing a portal for your outside research vendors through which they can link directly into your operations. The Vendor-Net is comprised of a set of carefully developed drop-in web pages for use by your court runners and verification sub-contractors to retrieve their on-going research assignments and enter the results of their research on-line. All of this is performed securely at your web site.

Like the owners of most employment screening agencies, John Evans at Personnel Profiles was faced with the challenges of growing his business while managing the escalating costs of adding additional employees. With an exploding annual growth rate, the situation was becoming critical for his employment screening agency. "Our problem was that we were locked into a lease that was preventing us from moving to larger offices and adding additional employees, not to mention the cost of new computers, phones, insurance and all of the other things that come with hiring employees. In the meantime, we were scrambling trying to keep up with all of the data input", said Evans.

Personnel Profiles was already using several outside criminal researchers and employment verifiers to assist their in-house staff. New orders were entered into FRS and the criminal and employment requests were faxed to the outside vendors. "When the guys at FRS discussed their ideas for this new system, we saw the potential immediately," said Evans. "Here was a chance to solve multiple problems with a single cost effective product. The greatest thing about this product is that we don't have to recruit people to work for us – they are literally banging the door down. The product is a dream come true for stay-at-home-moms. We have 15 contractors working from home who are highly motivated – I couldn't ask for a better situation."

The FRS Vendor-Net is yet another step to equip the clients of the Flexible Research System with the tools needed to attain and retain market-leading status in the background screening industry. For an on-line demonstration of this powerful new addition to the FRS suite of screening solutions, contact our sales department at (704) 282-2320 or by e-mail at sales@frssoftware.com. We would welcome the opportunity to provide a tour of this application to allow you to experience how this new product can help your business by managing your network of court runners and verifiers through the power of the Internet.
