“Having worked with several background check providers over the years — frequently facing inconsistent results, delays, and escalating costs — I was eager to explore what the IDS team could offer. Their tailored solutions and exceptional accuracy immediately distinguished them from every provider we had previously engaged. The transition was seamless, and the results were immediate. We quickly experienced faster turnaround times, improved consistency, and meaningful cost efficiencies — all without disrupting our workflow. IDS has elevated the standard for what we expect from a screening partner.”

Background Screening & Workforce Monitoring
Precision manufacturing requires discipline. Your workforce screening should reflect the same standard. Attracting and retaining top talent in today’s labor market requires more than speed — it requires structure, compliance, and disciplined risk management.
As PMPA members strengthen hiring practices and apply legal best practices, Information Discovery Services (IDS) provides a screening framework that supports consistent, defensible hiring decisions.
Founded in 2011 and grounded in public safety and federal investigative standards, IDS delivers FCRA-compliant background screening with 99.9% quality and audit-ready processes. Its role-based approach aligns screening levels to job function, operational exposure, and compliance expectations — supporting both hiring integrity and workforce stability.
The IDS Difference
IDS is trusted in mission-critical environments where accuracy, compliance, and defensibility matter.
- 99.9% quality and audit-ready standards
- Fully FCRA-compliant processes
- Structured, role-based screening programs
- Reliable turnaround times
Unlike transactional screening vendors, IDS approaches hiring through a risk lens — aligning screening depth to job function, operational exposure, and regulatory requirements.
Trusted at the National Security Level
IDS supports state and federal agencies in national security environments, providing personnel security services and conducting extensive background investigations for the Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and elements of the U.S. Intelligence Community.
The same disciplined standards applied in federal investigative work guide every commercial screening program delivered to PMPA members.
