📊 The Math on Bulk Screening

Bulk Screening FAQs
Common questions about high-volume background checks.
How many candidates can I upload at once?
Our standard bulk upload supports up to 1,000 candidates per file. For larger batches, you can upload multiple files or contact us for enterprise solutions that handle 10,000+ at once.
Is turnaround slower for bulk orders?
No. All candidates process in parallel. Database checks return in minutes; verifications take 2-5 days — same as individual orders. The total time is based on the slowest check, not multiplied by volume.
What format does the upload file need to be?
We accept CSV and Excel (.xlsx) files. Download our template from the dashboard to see the required columns and formatting. We validate files before processing and highlight any issues.
How do candidates provide consent?
Each candidate receives an individual email invitation to provide FCRA-compliant consent and enter any missing information. Consent is captured with e-signature before any searches begin.
Can I use different packages for different candidates?
Yes. Your upload file includes a package column where you can specify different screening packages for different candidates. You can also add individual services per candidate.
How do volume discounts work?
Discounts apply automatically based on your monthly screening volume. Screen 100+/month for 25% off, 500+/month for 40%+ off. Contact us for enterprise pricing at higher volumes.
