Gibraltar Group Partners With Kroll for Background Screening Services

Lubbock, Texas-based The Gibraltar Group is partnering with risk consulting firm Kroll, to provide comprehensive background screening services to The Gibraltar Group’s customers.

The Gibraltar Group’s customers will receive direct access to Kroll’s wide range of services, which are designed to help protect assets, decrease claims and lower loss ratios for commercial insurance providers and their customers. According to Brandt Beal, president of The Gibraltar Group, Kroll’s offerings can deliver additional value to the firm’s customers, especially its broad range of background screening capabilities.

Kroll’s 2007 Hit Ratio Report and Industry Analysis revealed that in addition to large corporations, smaller companies are increasingly recognizing that hiring risks exist regardless of their size. The study, located at http://www.kroll.com/about/library/hit_ratio/, also indicated that small and large businesses are starting to see potential hiring risks at every level of an organization and are implementing background screening on all employees, as well as temporary employees, vendors and consultants.

The Gibraltar Group’s customers will have access to all services of the Background Screening Division of Kroll, including its substance abuse testing and related offerings. To reduce the risk of on-the-job accidents and heightened threats to the health and safety of employees, Kroll offers urine screening with a point-of-collection testing option that provides immediate preliminary results, as well as a secure reporting Web site that helps customers more effectively and efficiently organize testing program data.

The Gibraltar Group provides local, national and international clients with risk management and commercial insurance services.
