The Importance of Choosing the Right Criminal Record Check Company

Many employers believe there is a single national criminal database that provides the most up-to-date overview of a candidate’s criminal records. The truth is, there is no single public database — just a compilation of private sources that may be outdated or incomplete.

We cast a wide net to identify potential concerns. We then verify every hit directly at its primary source, such as county courthouses, to guarantee the most accurate criminal background check results possible.

Our PBSA accreditation demonstrates our commitment to excellence in the background screening industry. That means our services adhere to the highest standards of professionalism, including:

  • Comprehensive coverage: Wide selection of search options tailored to your industry, including post-hire criminal monitoring for ongoing workforce protection.
  • Timely results: Fast turnaround times to meet your deadlines, without sacrificing quality or compliance.
  • Compliance expertise: Every search is designed with Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), state, and industry regulations in mind, reducing your risk of making costly hiring mistakes.
