Women Owned Small Business

Employer Lynx, Inc. is officially certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) through the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the nation’s largest third party certifier of businesses owned and operated by women in the US.

We recognize the commitment to supplier diversity that is embraced by corporations and government agencies today, and we enjoy adding diversity to your supply chain.

WBENC Certification validates that a business is at least 51 percent owned, controlled, operated and managed by a woman or women.

This world-class certification standard is accepted by more than 1,000 corporations representing America’s most prestigious brands, in addition to many states, cities and government entities.

They also are a certified WOSB (Women Owned Small Business). For those of you in government agencies or those who participate in federal contracting, this should be most welcome news.

Employer Lynx, Inc. was founded in 1996 in response to the growing need for employee background checks and investigations.

By 1998, the company was already experiencing a period of rapid growth and so the board, already consisting primarily of women, recruited K.J. Smith to head up operations.

Through her leadership of Employer Lynx over the past 20 years, Smith has overseen a tripling in the number of accounts the company serves and they boast a significant base of clients throughout the entire state of Nevada and beyond.

Smith and her team have done this by constantly battling away national and even international competition. They accomplish this by offering a personalized level of customer service and attention to details their conglomerate competitors can’t match.

It all comes to a philosophy Smith has instilled in Employer Lynx since she took the reins two decades ago. In fact, it sums up her entire growth strategy.

“We are completely focused on the integrity of our work,” Smith said. “Our clients count on us to affirm the integrity of their employees and in this business, details truly matter.”

This meticulous approach to providing premium reporting by Employer Lynx is a key reason they enjoy unusually high client retention. And, this loyalty to the company extends to her employees as well, many of whom have been with Smith for a long time.
