Who writes and reviews our background screening guidance at SafestHires
Every SafestHires guide with citations is attributed to one of our founders — three Navy veterans with decades of background screening experience.
Short answer
Who writes and reviews SafestHires compliance guidance?
Every SafestHires page that cites federal, state, or local law carries a named reviewer byline from one of the company's three founders — Andy Andersen, Jake Taylor, and Mark Lingo — all Navy veterans with decades of combined background screening experience. Their profiles, roles, and areas of focus are published here and marked up as schema.org Person entities so search and answer engines can attribute the guidance to an identifiable subject-matter expert. SafestHires guidance is not legal advice; each page also advises review with employment counsel before reliance.
