Core Values

Our Employees
At Tru-Check safety is our first priority, and it starts with who we hire to represent us, the utility and/or technology vendor. Our background screening process is an important aspect of our overall recruiting process to hire the most qualified applicants that will best meet all concerned stakeholders needs regarding safety, quality, and production.

Various screening reports are obtained, logged, and communicated to those Members of management that have a need to know, by members of our Somerset, KY and Buffalo, NY offices on all employees. Screenings: Tru-Check’s standard background screenings include:
