Blue Bell, Pa., January 7, 2014 – PDS, a leading provider of human resource, benefits, recruiting, payroll, and time and attendance software, today announced its strategic relationship with Intellicorp Records, Inc., a leading provider of background checks and employment screening services. Together, the two companies will offer an integrated background screening solution directly in Vista HRMS®.         

“A major task for Human Resources departments is conducting background screenings for potential and even current employees.  It can be an extremely time-consuming process,” said George Brady, vice president at PDS. “Offering a simple widget on the Vista HRMS home page — where users can click once and perform a background check with the data already entered into Vista — greatly simplifies the process for organizations.  This new alliance with IntelliCorp is an important element for the future direction of PDS and provides our users with the most comprehensive HRMS possible.”

“By streamlining the background check process and eliminating duplicate data entry, PDS customers will reap immediate benefits from the integration of our screening solution and Vista HRMS,” said Todd Carpenter, IntelliCorp president. “IntelliCorp is accredited through the National Association of Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS) and follow specific standards for compliance of data and processes. PDS Vista customers will realize valuable time savings, and their data will be securely protected while conducting background checks.”
