Frequently Asked Questions

What’s included in a higher ed background check?
A typical package may include criminal record checks, sex offender registry searches, identity verification, and employment/education verification. For certain roles, you can add license checks, driving records, or drug screening, depending on your policies and regulations.
How long do the checks usually take?
Most standard background checks are completed within a few business days, depending on the searches ordered. We focus on delivering accurate, compliant results as quickly as possible, so you can keep hiring and onboarding on schedule.
Is the process easy for HR and candidates?
