NATIONAL BACKGROUND SCREENING COMPANY ESTABLISHES HEADQUARTERS IN GREENVILLE, SC

GREENVILLE, SC - Simple Screening, Inc., a national company utilizing the Internet to screen job applicants and tenants for corporations has hit full stride in its new headquarters of Greenville, SC after starting business late last year. The company already boasts an impressive list of client corporations, small, medium and large who say they find the ease and quick turnaround of the Internet-based system much faster and less expensive than traditional background check methods. Through the company website, SimpleScreening.com, clients can submit names of potential employees or tenants and get instantaneous results verifying resume items, criminal history, financial history and other background information selected by the customer.

The company was the brainchild of Bo and David Sims of Greenville, who had a friend utilizing the Internet for screening apartment tenants from California. With the problem of falsified resumes plaguing more and more companies as they hire employees, the Sims brothers saw a tremendous market need and filled it.

"Employee background checks are not necessarily a new thing, although the demand for such information is much more prevalent today" says Bo Sims, President. "What we did that was different was to bring together a vast network of highly sophisticated background check organizations into one matrix, cutting the turnaround time and cost significantly for people." As a result, a process, which used to tie up Human Resource and leasing officers for days or even weeks, is now virtually instantaneous.

"The need we saw in our planning phase was exactly what we've seen in the marketplace" says David Sims, Vice President of Marketing. "We have gotten a huge cross-section of corporate America to use our service and they come from virtually every region of the country. In a perfect world, our services would not be necessary, but in today's world, companies cannot afford to have a single doubt about the people they hire."

With the initial success of its Internet-based operation, Simple Screening Inc. plans to develop more personal relationships with client corporations using its Upstate South Carolina headquarters as a launching point for contracting with larger corporations and leasing companies.
