  Les has been a mentor to me and to many others in our industry. He has educated us at multiple conferences with subtle humor. There are few in this industry who do not know about Tony the Timebomb or the impact of his actions, as shown to us in the Mock Trial. This trial was an innovative, and highly memorable method of teaching the basics of compliance and thorough salesmanship. His book (The Safe Hiring Manual) is one of the key resource books I have used for years about hiring and background screening. He freely shares his knowledge and has offered sections of his book for use in the various groups we have both served in, such as the ASIS Background Screening Guidelines. Les keeps an eye out for all of the people touched by what we do as a CRA. He cares deeply about the applicants who are touched by companies in our industry and his education, is in part, a means to make sure we all do it right and protect the individuals who are touched by our services. I have thoroughly enjoyed working on many projects with Les. I always learn something. And with Les, you can be assured that in any debate it will be a lively one. Les is a man of honor and integrity who puts the industry above all else. He is definitely seen as one of our master leaders.

  I have had the pleasure of knowing Les Rosen for almost 10 years. Les was my first true friend in our industry. We worked very closely together in the formation of NAPBS. Most of what I have learned about best practices and compliance has come from Les directly. He is not only a friend and confidant but has also been a mentor to me and many of us in NAPBS. When Les was our first Co-Chairman of NAPBS I was the co-Chair elect. I had big shoes to fill and was glad to have his tutelage along the way! To this day we remain close friends and I can't recommend him highly enough!!

  I have known Les Rosen and his reputation for many years. When the National Association of Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS) was in the formation stages I was very happy to see that he was one of the people behind the new association. Les donated untold hours to help setup NAPBS and then became the first Co-Chair of the association. Les led out in taking NAPBS from a new and unknown association to the prominent voice in our industry. Les is considered "The Father" of the screening industry and rightfully so. He is dedicated to the industry and to the members of NAPBS. His insight is recognized industry wide. I am prod to work with Les in many capacities and to be able to call him my friend.

  Les has been a great friend and client or some 13 years now. He is a prolific and creative professional and well known throughout the screening industry as an expert and an opinion leader. True to his reputation, my company, and by extension my entire clientele, have benefited pervasively from our relationship. As a research provider for his firm, ESR, our own quality and professionalism have elevated significantly by virtue of our universal adoption of any standards Les and his firm have ever required of us. Furthermore Les has always been willing to answer my more technical industry-related questions and otherwise freely impart his authoritative and practical wisdom to any of the more difficult professional issues I've ever encountered. In that regard he has been a valuable go-to resource for me--both in my capacity as an individual research provider, and (in no small thanks to Les) a committee co-chair and fellow founding member of the National Association of Professional Background Screeners. And to be clear, Les is not merely a founding member of the NAPBS: he's a Founding Father. The industry is forever beholden to him for his countless volunteer hours and tireless instrumental contribution in helping form and direct our industry's first professional trade association. It goes without saying I highly recommend him and his firm, Employment Screening Resources, and in fact do just that any time I receive a call from anyone in search of a quality background screening firm.

  I have always regarded Les as one of the "founding pillars" of the background screening industry, and I have relied upon his wisdom and advice on numerous occasions over the 10+ years I have known him. It is at those junctures where what constitutes best practice is being weighed against what constitutes the very best practice that I turn to Les for his help, and more than once I have forged ahead and proceeded down an uncharted course with the confidence of knowing that Les and I were on the same page. Les's tireless dedication to NAPBS and the thousands of hours of his own time he has given without hesitation have strengthened our industry and ensured its viability. I have the highest regard for Les Rosen, and I can unquestionably endorse both his ethics and his expertise.
