Brittany Bollinger Boyle: Pioneering Excellence in Background Screening
With an illustrious career spanning 13 years in the background screening industry, Brittany Bollinger Boyle stands as the Founder and President of Alliance Background. Often dubbed the "youngest old-timer" in the business, Brittany's journey has been marked by a passion for excellence and a commitment to industry evolution.
Brittany's roots in the background screening industry run deep, having attended the inaugural National Association of Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS) conference at the tender age of 12. This early exposure set the stage for her comprehensive understanding of the industry's evolution. Grounded in hands-on experience, Brittany honed her skills working across Operations, Verifications, Criminal Research, Compliance, and Sales within prominent industry giants.
A trailblazer in her own right, Brittany achieved the distinction of being the youngest board member appointed to the PBSA (formerly NAPBS).

Over the past decade, Brittany identified a crucial gap in the industry—lack of dedicated customer service. In response, she founded Alliance Background with a mission to provide customizable solutions tailored to each organization's unique needs. The core ethos revolves around delivering enterprise-level solutions with a personalized touch, a vision that has set Alliance Background apart in the industry.
Beyond her professional pursuits, Brittany, a proud Floridian, embraces a life filled with volunteering, boating, fishing, and cherished moments with her husband and son.
