How much do background checks cost?
Pricing depends on which searches you run and your annual hiring volume, so we quote it per employer rather than publishing a single rate. Submit the form on this page and a specialist will come back to you with pricing and details.
Do you screen volunteers and students, not just employees?
Yes. We supply applicant screening for employment, volunteer, and student screening to authorized organizations under the conditions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Volunteer screening is typically scoped differently from employment screening.
