Employer FAQs
Common questions about pre-employment screening.
When should I run a background check?
Run background checks after a conditional job offer but before the employee starts. This ensures you have the information you need while complying with ban-the-box laws in many states.
Do I need the candidate’s consent?
Yes. The FCRA requires written authorization and a standalone disclosure before running any background check for employment purposes. We provide compliant forms.
What if I find something concerning?
You must follow the adverse action process: send a pre-adverse notice with the report, wait 5 business days, then send a final adverse action notice if you decide not to hire. We guide you through this.
How long do background checks take?
Database searches are instant to 24 hours. Employment and education verification take 2-5 business days. County court searches take 1-3 business days.
Can I run different checks for different roles?
Absolutely. Most employers create tiered packages — basic checks for entry-level, comprehensive packages for managers, and executive packages for leadership and financial roles.
Do you integrate with my ATS?
We integrate with most major ATS platforms including Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, BambooHR, iCIMS, and more. We also offer a REST API for custom integrations.
