Episode 15: Fred Giles on Background Screening, Second Chances, and Leading an Industry
How do you take a failing business unit and turn it into a multimillion-dollar success? What’s it like to be at the forefront of an industry before it even exists? And why is giving people a second chance so important? In this episode, I sit down with industry pioneer Fred Giles, whose career spans law enforcement, polygraph examinations, and leading some of the biggest names in background screening. We discuss his path from police officer to PBSA Chair, his work shaping accreditation programs, and his strong belief in second-chance hiring.
