What Human Resource ProFile does

Human Resource ProFile (HRP), founded in 1991 by Mark Owens and headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, is a privately held Consumer Reporting Agency that provides pre-employment background screening, drug testing, and occupational health services to U.S. employers. The company serves a diversified client base ranging from small and mid-sized businesses to Fortune 500 enterprises across manufacturing, healthcare, energy, hospitality, finance, and retail verticals. It positions itself as a compliance-focused, primary-source data provider rather than a low-cost aggregator, with an in-house Attorney Chief Compliance Officer overseeing FCRA, EEOC, ADA, and DOT regulatory alignment.

The company's core technology is a proprietary online screening platform — launched in 1992 as the industry's first CRA-developed online screening software — that integrates directly with all 4,300+ U.S. county courts, state repositories, and federal courts for daily criminal record access. Its proprietary skip-trace reverse-engineering methodology and 25-year Hit Ratio Matrix are cited as uncovering 97% of criminal convictions missed by self-reported applicant addresses. The platform offers 18+ screening modules (multi-county, single-county, statewide, national, federal, FBI criminal checks; employment, education, and professional license verification; credit, MVR, civil court, sex offender, federal exclusions; personnel assessments; and an FCRA Adverse Action Tool Kit) and connects natively to 55+ ATS/HRIS platforms for one-click ordering. Drug and clinical testing are delivered through partnerships with LabCorp, Quest Diagnostics, eScreen, and Concentra, providing access to 43,000+ collection sites.

HR ProFile operates a transaction-based, quote-priced revenue model with no long-term contracts required for most services, monetizing per criminal check, verification, drug test, and clinical service. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct phone outreach (800-969-4300) by experienced Account Representatives, complemented by inside-sales handling of inbound inquiries and a partner referral program. The company invests in thought leadership through a content-marketing blog, monthly SHRM/HRCI-credit webinars co-presented with Taft Law labor and employment attorneys, and industry events. Customer loyalty is a defining trait: 52% of clients have remained with the company for 10+ years, supporting a stable, recurring revenue base anchored by long-tenured enterprise relationships.
