Easy Background Checks for Employers

Written by Ryan Howard | Fri, Feb 22, 2019

According to a 2018 study by the Society for Human Resource Management, 73% of human resources professionals say their organizations run background checks. While this is good news for mitigating risk to businesses,  that means that 27% of companies aren't screening before hiring.

While some employers may tout cost as a reason for skipping background checks, the cost of a bad hire can be even more expensive. Other organizations may hesitate due to the challenge and effort involved in finding a quality screening partner that can also help with compliance. VeriFirst can help offer easy background checks for employers, while being cost effective and compliant.

How Easy Is It To Sign Up?

In just a few steps, we can put together a personalized quote based on the needs of your business. There are no long term commitments and no subscription fees. With your e-signature, we'll share our terms and conditions, set-up your monthly billing, invoice and payment preferences (credit card, ACH, or check).
