Ever wondered how a background screening empire could be born out of a college fraternity house? Join me as I sit down with Robert “Bob” Capwell, a true pioneer in our industry, to uncover just that—and so much more. Bob may have started with “thermal fax machines” and stacks of paper, but he’s since evolved into a background screening renaissance man, helping turn PBSA into a global powerhouse and tackling industry challenges with a mix of old-school grit and modern finesse. You don’t want to miss Bob’s insights, humor, and a few “behind-the-scenes” tales that remind us just how far the industry has come.
