Why it's different

Why staffing screening is different.

It's not just about screening a candidate once. The challenge is speed, client-by-client variation, recruiter consistency, and staying compliant across many roles, locations, and turnaround expectations at the same time.

▣

Client-by-Client Screening Rules

Firms don't run one standard package. One client needs a core criminal screen, another wants MVR and drug testing, a third requires credentials plus federal checks. PreSearch standardizes those differences so recruiters aren't guessing.

◷

Speed Without Recruiter Error

Placements move fast. Role-based ordering and client-specific packages keep ordering accurate without slowing recruiters down, reducing manual mistakes.

◆

Different Roles, Different Risk

A warehouse temp, CDL driver, school contractor, and executive don't belong in the same workflow. Apply the right checks by role, industry, and client requirement without building chaos into the process.

§

FCRA-Compliant Adverse Action

When a result affects placement, federal law requires a compliant adverse action workflow. PreSearch tracks pre-adverse notices, waiting periods, and final notices so teams aren't handling it in email.

▤

High-Volume Candidate Onboarding

Throughput is everything. Branded onboarding links, candidate self-service intake, and automated consent collection move large volume without adding headcount.

◈

Multi-State Placements

Agencies placing across regions need a system that reconciles searches to role, geography, and client requirements automatically, without recruiters memorizing state-by-state differences.

FAQ

Staffing screening questions, answered.

How does PreSearch handle high-volume staffing workflows?

PreSearch is built for recruiter speed and operational consistency. Agencies can standardize packages by client, role, branch, or placement type so teams order correctly without slowing down. The platform supports bulk workflows, candidate self-service onboarding, and real-time status visibility.

Is PreSearch PBSA accredited?

Yes. PreSearch is accredited by the Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA). For staffing firms, that gives clients and internal compliance teams confidence that your screening partner follows independently audited operational, legal, and data handling standards.

How fast do results come back?

Most individual search results are returned in under 2 hours. Most complete reports are back within 24 hours. Some components, like court records requiring manual retrieval or verifications that depend on employer response time, can take longer. PreSearch surfaces status in real time so recruiters and account teams can keep placements moving.

Can we create different screening packages for different clients?

Yes. PreSearch supports role-based and client-specific ordering, so each client account can have its own screening rules, add-ons, and approval logic. Recruiters don't have to remember what to order for each account; the system can be configured to present the right package automatically.

How does adverse action work for staffing firms?

PreSearch includes built-in adverse action workflows that guide your team through pre-adverse notice, waiting period, and final adverse action handling. Every step is time-stamped and logged so staffing teams aren't managing FCRA compliance in inboxes or spreadsheets.

Can you support staffing agencies placing across multiple states?

Yes. PreSearch helps reconcile screening requirements by role, geography, and client expectation. Agencies placing across multiple states can keep workflows centralized without forcing recruiters to memorize state-by-state variation.

Do you offer SSO, API access, and integrations?

Yes. PreSearch supports SAML/SSO, REST API access, and integration-friendly workflows for staffing platforms and internal systems. Enterprise clients receive direct implementation support and a named point of contact.

Is there a contract or minimum volume commitment?

No contracts. No minimums. No setup fees. You pay only when screening activity occurs. Volume pricing can be discussed for agencies with consistent high-volume usage, but it is not required to get started.
