In this episode of Behind the Screens, I speak with Jennifer Daimon, VP of Compliance and In-House Counsel at AccuSourceHR. Jennifer’s journey into the background screening industry started in a way many professionals can relate to. What began as a job researching public records while she attended law school eventually turned into a long-term career built around compliance, investigation, and leadership.
Jennifer shares how working in the industry while studying law shaped her perspective and prepared her for the complex legal and operational challenges that background screening companies face today. From navigating evolving regulations to advising clients and managing disputes, her role sits at the intersection of law, compliance, and business strategy.
We also talk about the collaborative nature of the screening industry, particularly through organizations like PBSA, where competitors work together to solve shared challenges such as data access and regulatory changes.
Jennifer offers thoughtful advice for newcomers entering the field, emphasizing the importance of curiosity, problem-solving, and never being afraid to ask questions. Her story highlights how unexpected career paths can lead to meaningful opportunities when professionals stay engaged, keep learning, and remain open to growth.
And like many guests on this podcast, Jennifer reminds us that the people behind the screening industry often have fascinating stories outside of their professional roles.
