Easily Create and Compare Your Background Check Packages

Everyone is doing it; maybe you should too. You should compare your current background check packages with what’s available in the market today.

So, let's begin. You develop a list of the items you want to compare and head to a few vendor websites. As you do your research, you may quickly find out it’s challenging to get a service with a clear description.

And pricing? Good luck!

You have to fill out a form and wait for a call from a salesperson. But that’s why you started your research online in the first place - so you wouldn’t have to talk to a salesperson.

Unfortunately, many background check companies make it hard to compare packages and pricing, comparing vendors’ services very hard. Much harder than it should be.

Whether you’re new to your recruiting role or a seasoned veteran of talent acquisition, the world of background screening is complex and confusing.

Why is it so confusing?

According to background screening "industry experts," there are several reasons:

State and Federal Rules and Regulations

• There are federal laws and their court systems.
• Each state has its own set of laws and court systems.

Business Models

There are hundreds of background check providers with a variety of different business models. To differentiate themselves, some providers use creative terms to describe their services.

Have they ever heard of a “universal” criminal check?

• Man has walked on the moon, but does anyone believe that crimes have been committed on another planet?

Some vendors are sneaky with their scope of work.

• Have you experienced the “Max 1” alias search?
• You’ve read this correctly – “Max 1 alias search” sounds like an oxymoron.
• It’s a way for the vendor to take more of your money while appearing cheaper on a bid.

Here’s the real reason the background screening industry is complex and confusing. This approach serves the interests of the vendors. Complexity and confusion help increase their profitability.
