Executive Management Team |
Raymond Conrad - Owner
Raymond Conrad began his career in 1966 with Hooper Holmes, Inc., one of the first two personnel background services in the country, where he served for 21 years. Mr. Conrad left his position as Vice President of Sales and Operations in 1986 to join Policy Management Systems Corporation (PMSC). In 1996, Mr. Conrad left PMSC as a corporate vice president and purchased General Information Services, Inc. (GIS) bringing with him to over 30 years of experience in the information services industry.
Since its incorporation, GIS has experienced rapid, maintained growth each year under his leadership. Mr. Conrad was honored in 2007 as Ernst &Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year for the Carolinas, a testament to his abilities as an innovator and leader. He continues to have an active role in daily operations, and continues to personally visit his clients each week. It is because of this direct involvement that Mr. Conrad saw the need for a complete workforce management solution that was designed for the customer, whose applicants, employees, and job positions were unique, unlike the canned solutions existing in the market.
Mr. Conrad's vision is to transform the background screening industry through launching a total, integrated workforce management solution that brings the award-winning client service that GIS is renowned for to the hiring and talent management space.
