Most hiring problems show up in the first two weeks: missing documents, unclear availability, wrong expectations. Screening catches them before they cost you.
How Candidate Screening & Verification works
Our screening covers a structured phone or in-person interview, confirmation of ID, Social Security number and legal documents to work in the United States, and role-specific requirements such as vaccines, sheriff background checks and schedule availability. We follow the law on fair hiring: decisions about criminal history consider the nature of the offense, how long ago it occurred and its relevance to the position, and we comply with the ADA by considering reasonable accommodation requests. We report what we verified and what is still pending, so you know exactly where each candidate stands.

Frequently asked questions
Do you run background checks?
Several of our current positions require a sheriff record or background check. We confirm what each employer requires and guide candidates through it.
Can a past conviction disqualify someone?
Not automatically. Our application states that no applicant is denied solely because of a conviction; the nature of the offense, its date and its relevance to the position are considered.
