“Universal Background Screening has quickly earned a reputation among our mutual customers as a top-notch provider of background checks,” said Russ Smith, president of Position Manager, Inc. “We are pleased to select Universal as a premier provider of background screening services and look forward to a deeper level of collaboration between our two organizations.”

The Position Manager-Universal solution provides background services that are seamlessly integrated into the recruitment and hiring process. Applicant data is securely and automatically transferred to Universal upon initiation of a background check, eliminating the need for faxing or redundant data entry. The result is a more efficient, accurate and timely screening process.

“Universal Background Screening is proud to broaden our affiliation with Position Manager through this premier partnership,” said Kevin Olson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Universal. “Our companies share a mutual commitment to building long-term customer relationships based on quality of service and expanding technology. We look forward to delivering the Position Manager-Universal solution to a growing number of healthcare organizations.”

Among the companies’ mutual customers are Abrazo Health System, Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System, Maricopa Integrated Health System and Scottsdale Healthcare.

Dedicated support professionals at both organizations manage the process from start to finish, eliminating the hassles and long implementation times often experienced by end-users during typical system integrations. Hospitals currently utilizing Position Manager can take advantage of integrated background screening ordering in a matter of days through the pre-built XML integration.
