The Expertise You Need. The Experience That Matters.

Meet Arica Hawthorne

For over a decade, I've been on both sides of the background screening relationship—leading compliance operations for a global staffing firm while partnering closely with consumer reporting agencies. This dual perspective gives me unique insight into what actually works.

As the head of screening compliance for a multinational staffing and consulting firm, I've navigated the intricate compliance requirements across diverse industries including federal contracting, healthcare, IT, science, insurance and many more. I understand the pressure of meeting strict client criteria while maintaining efficient operations and protecting your organization from risk.

My approach combines deep compliance knowledge with proven project management methodologies. I don't just tell you what needs to be done—I help you build sustainable systems that scale with your business. Through continuous education, certifications, and experience, I bring both practical experience and cutting-edge strategic frameworks to every engagement.

What sets me apart: I've lived the challenges you're facing. Whether you're a staffing firm struggling to standardize compliance across multiple clients or a CRA looking to differentiate your services, I've been your customer, your partner, and your problem-solver.
