Quality Screening Reports is the employment-screening arm of Quality Credit Reporting (QCR), a licensed credit reporting agency that has operated in Markham, Ontario since 1992. Same operation, same investigative standards, one dedicated focus: background screening that employers can actually hire on.
If you are about to hand a company your candidates and their personal information, "who runs this?" is exactly the right question. Here is the full answer.
QCR opened in Markham in 1992 as a licensed credit reporting agency, built around a conviction that still defines everything downstream: a report should be in-depth and analytical, not a raw database pull. That approach earned an investigative reputation, and over the years the operation expanded well beyond consumer credit:
Three decades of handling sensitive personal information under privacy law is not a marketing line; it is the operating muscle underneath every screen we deliver.
Because employment screening stopped being a side request. Employers who knew QCR's credit work kept coming back for background checks, for a simple reason: the skills transfer. Verifying a credit history and verifying an employment history are the same discipline, checking claims against sources and refusing to release anything unconfirmed.
Quality Screening Reports let us give that discipline a proper home: purpose-built packages, a modern portal for ordering and tracking, transparent CAD pricing, and a team focused on employment screening full-time. What it did not change is the method. What separates a verified report from a database dump is the subject of what makes a background check report worth trusting, and the answer was QCR practice long before it was a QSR page.
The parts that matter most to the people being screened and the people doing the hiring:
The operation is rooted in Markham, Ontario, where QCR has been based since 1992. That geography shapes more than the mailing address: Ontario has the country's most developed police record check legislation, and living under it daily keeps our process sharp for customers everywhere. For local employers, we wrote a dedicated guide to background checks in Markham, covering the York Regional Police route and when a full screen earns its keep.
It means the newest name on your vendor list is not a new company. The brand launched recently; the operation verifying your candidates has been doing this work since 1992, under licence, with specialists who sign what they send. You can read how we run a screen end to end on our how we work page, or start with the about page for the longer version of this story.
And if you would rather just ask a person, that has been an option here for thirty years. Get in touch, and someone from the team, not a bot, will answer.
