How It Works
Background screening can be complex
Allied’s Five Step Process makes it easy
Order Search
The employer orders a background check according to their specifications and policies. This can include both the types of searches and locations. Most searches include criminal background checks but additional searches can be added as needed.
Submit Applicant Information
Perform Location Trace
A trace is performed on the information provided to confirm the location information provided is complete and defined in the background search parameters.
Perform Records Search
A thorough search is performed leveraging the latest technologies, databases and verification methods. Some jurisdictions require a physical visit to review and confirm records.
Provide Report
Clients are notified as soon as all searches are complete. Applicants and reports are available in the client portal for download and review. Throughout the process, searches are updated real-time in the client dashboard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Employers
How long does a background check take?
Many factors impact the speed of background checks and timing can vary based on the type of search requested, jurisdictions searched, availability of digital records, history of the candidate etc. Some records are available instantly, while others may require an actual visit to a courthouse to obtain or verify records. We leverage automation wherever possible, and all records are reviewed by our team for maximum accuracy before being released to the client. Our target turnaround time for criminal background checks is 24 hours; however, some reports may take longer to complete and verify.
How much does a background check cost?
Our services are based on the idea of tailored services with transparent pricing. Since the needs of customers can vary significantly, please contact our customer team so we can better understand your needs and offer you a customized proposal.
Does your company provide services nationwide?
Yes, we provide employment screening services nationwide.
Do you sell background checks to individuals?
We do not provide background checks to individuals. We work exclusively with clients who have a permissible purpose to obtain background checks.
How far back does a background check go?
In general, background checks report seven years of criminal and court records. Some searches may have varying durations, depending on record availability. Limitations on reportable history are governed by federal and state laws.
How can I check the status of a background check?
The status of all orders is updated real-time in our online portal. If you need further assistance in accessing the portal, please contact our support team.
Does a background check include a credit check?
No. While our services are governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), we do not sell or obtain consumer credit information.
