Background screening
A missed record can cost you a lawsuit. A slow report can cost you the candidate. WorkforceQA background screening is PBSA-accredited, handled by FCRA-certified specialists on every file, and delivered inside your ATS — so hires clear quickly and every decision survives scrutiny.
Speed-first screeners quietly trade accuracy for turnaround — and the missed record, the wrong-person match, the dispute you can't defend all become your problem at the worst possible time. Slow screeners fail you differently: the qualified nurse, driver, or technician takes the other offer while the report sits in a queue. Either way, you're the one apologizing.
WorkforceQA was built so you never make that trade. Accurate enough to defend. Fast enough to win the candidate.
An FCRA-certified specialist handles every file — not an algorithm alone, not an offshore queue. Records are verified before they reach you, so adverse-action decisions rest on reports you can defend to a candidate, a court, or an auditor.
We benchmark turnaround by search type and show you the numbers before you order — no averages hiding the slow searches. Real-time performance analytics and continuous vendor oversight keep results consistent, not just occasionally fast.
Recruiters order, track, and receive results without leaving Workday or iCIMS — status updates flow back automatically, so no one toggles between portals or chases a report by email.
Twenty to thirty percent of screens hit a snag — a court delay, a name mismatch, a candidate dispute. That's when ticket-queue providers go quiet, and when your named WorkforceQA representative picks up the phone. The exception path is the product.
Social media screening is conducted by a consistent third-party review process, aligned with FCRA and EEOC guidance — job-relevant flags only.
You may not know WorkforceQA yet. The most regulated employers in America do — airlines, railroads, and national fleets have run their screening and testing programs on this platform for years, under FMCSA, FAA, and FRA rules, where a bad file means a grounded crew or a parked truck. Our compliance bench includes authors of federal testing regulations; quality assurance isn't our tagline, it's our name.
That DNA is now behind your background checks:
Real-time analytics, automated ordering, and integrations move the routine work at machine speed — and FCRA-certified specialists review what machines shouldn't decide alone. In a market racing to remove people from screening, we kept the ones who keep you out of court.
To the giants, a 2,000-person employer is a rounding error behind their enterprise whales. Here, you get a named representative, direct answers, and service that doesn't scale down with your headcount.
Every screening file connects to something — a drug test, a physical, an I-9, a training record. Run them with separate vendors and the gaps between systems become compliance gaps. Run them with WorkforceQA and it's one program: one platform, one invoice, one team accountable for the whole file.

A screening specialist reviews your current state — roles, locations, volumes, package design, and compliance exposure — and hands you a program design with turnaround benchmarks for each search you actually run.
We integrate with your ATS, configure packages and adjudication workflows, and introduce the representative you'll know by name. Switching providers isn't the migration nightmare you've been sold.
Recruiters order and track without leaving their system; results come back verified, on benchmark, and defensible — and when a file hits a snag, a human you know is already on it.
“WorkforceQA isn't just a vendor; they're an extension of the compliance team.”

The same screening function, run two ways — a checkbox vendor built for one clock, and a program built for both.
| Before WorkforceQA | With WorkforceQA |
|---|---|
| Fast or accurate | Fast and defensible |
| "Where is this screen?" | Real-time status, in your ATS |
| Dispute lands — you hope the file holds | Dispute lands — the file was built for it |
| Apologizing to hiring managers for delays | The reason offers close faster |
| An account number to a giant | A client, known by name |
Getting from the left column to the right is what the Clear-to-Work Plan is for — and it starts with a 30-minute program review.
Our guide breaks down where speed-first screening actually loses time — disputes, re-runs, wrong-person matches — and how to benchmark a provider on both clocks before you sign.
Bring us your current packages, your turnaround pain, and your ATS. A specialist maps your program, benchmarks the searches you run, and shows you exactly what one accountable provider looks like — 30 minutes, no obligation. A specialist responds the same business day, usually within the hour.
