When it comes to employment background checks, turnaround time is one of the most important metrics. The faster a background check is completed, the faster an applicant can be fully onboarded; or transitioned to a new department or position. There are approximately 1,600 counties where SafestHires averages Same-Day turnaround with our HireiQ screening technology.

Of course, you never want to sacrifice accuracy for speed; ideally, you want both: accurate reports, delivered fast.

Our screening system processes 35,000 to 50,000 background checks per month, and we average less than 20 disputes per year, which means were are extremely accurate.

And we’re also extremely fast.

Most screening vendors offer instant or near-instant turnaround time with criminal database searches. But when it comes to county criminal searches, i.e., a search of criminal records at the county courthouse in the counties where an applicant has lived, not all screening vendors are alike.

SafestHires averages Same-Day turnaround on county criminal record searches in the following counties. This is only an average. Sometimes it can take two days.
