What Staffing Agencies Need

Staffing agencies operate under intense time pressure — candidates need to be screened and placed quickly. But speed can't come at the cost of accuracy or compliance. A bad placement reflects directly on your agency.

You also need flexibility. Different clients have different screening requirements — some need a basic criminal check, others need full drug panels and employment verification. A good screening program adapts to each client without creating administrative chaos for your team.

Frequently Asked Questions

What background screening do staffing agencies need?

Criminal background checks, employment verification, and drug testing for candidates — with packages that vary by client industry and role type. We work with staffing agencies to build flexible programs that satisfy multiple client requirements.

Who is responsible for background screening — the staffing agency or the client?

Both parties share responsibility under FCRA. Staffing agencies typically conduct screening as part of placement, and client companies may have additional requirements. We help build programs that satisfy both.

How do staffing agencies handle high-volume screening?

We handle volume hiring with fast turnaround, nationwide collection sites, and processes built for placement timelines. We work with your team to match screening speed to your placement cycles.
