Each year the Birmingham Business Journal composes a list of the Top 100 Privately Owned Companies. Top firms make the list because they are headquartered in the Birmingham Metro area and are the largest privately held companies ranked by 2014 revenue, with less than 50% ownership by an outside company.

ESS COO, Jason Kimbrell noted, “Over the past 20 years the people of ESS have dedicated themselves to helping businesses across the country minimize risk and protect their employees. We have made great strides in the employment screening industry and inclusion on this list represents the innovation, talent and hard work our team members bring to our offices every day.”
