OA-Check Global's story began in the entertainment staffing industry. In 1978, CEO Janice Bryant Howroyd founded ACT•1 Personnel with a $1,500 loan and a strong vision for the future based on her uncanny ability to match talent with jobs.

To better provide the most qualified employees and to protect her growing entertainment-industry client base from bad hires, ACT•1 performed background checks, checking references, education history and criminal records history. 

In 1998, Mrs. Howroyd decided that the demand for background checks warranted establishing a separate company focused on the opportunities enabled by an electronic, information age-based employment screening industry, the hiring risk mitigation needs of Human Resources, and corporate security professionals. The seed for what would later become A-Check Global thus began as a value-added background check function offered by ACT•1 Personnel Services.

She gathered a seasoned team of investigative, employment screening and process management experts and A-Check America, Inc. was born. A-Check America began operations out of a small rented office space in Montclair, California, with just a handful of employees, and then moved to larger leased space in Ontario, California before opening our Global Operations Center in Riverside, California in 2006.

As the market for background screening grew at the turn of the last century, A-Check America began to expand our reach by offering services to employers at a global level. In 2014 A-Check America, Inc. was renamed A-Check Global to better reflect the services that we offer, and our company’s clientele.
