What is the HRO Today Baker’s Dozen?
The Baker’s Dozen is one of the most respected awards in the HR and background screening industry. What makes it especially meaningful is that the rankings are based solely on customer feedback. Companies are evaluated across three key categories:
- Breadth of Service – The range of screening solutions offered.
- Size of Deals – The scale of clients and the size of deals managed.
- Quality of Service – The level of customer satisfaction and service delivery.
The overall score is derived from how well companies perform across these categories, with particular weight given to client satisfaction and service delivery. Being included in the 2024 Baker’s Dozen rankings is a significant honor and a reflection of the high level of satisfaction our clients have with our background screening solutions.
