Episode 59: Mind the Gap: The Human Connection in a Digital Screening World

In this international edition of Behind the Screens, I’m joined by the leadership team of the PBSA Europe & Africa Council: Martin Hardy, Will Hogarth, and Sally Ott-Lacoste. We explore how each of them entered the background screening industry, what keeps them passionate about it, and how the industry continues to evolve across Europe and Africa. We also preview the upcoming PBSA Europe & Africa Summit in London and discuss why this event is becoming essential for professionals who want to grow their network, knowledge, and global impact. Beyond compliance and accreditation, this episode is about leadership, community, adaptability, and the human responsibility behind screening. 00:00 Welcome to Behind the Screens (Podcast Intro) 00:47 Meet the PBSA Europe & Africa Council Panel + Summit Preview 02:10 Where in the World Are You?
