The Problem

No single background check provider is best at everything — criminal, employment, education, and credit each have specialists. HR teams manage 2-3 providers with separate logins and billing. Turnaround varies from hours to weeks depending on provider. Volume discounts are lost across split providers.

The Solution

Background check aggregation platform that routes each check type to the best-value provider automatically, provides a unified dashboard for tracking all checks, and optimizes for price/speed based on your priorities.

Target Audience

HR teams running 50+ background checks per month tired of manual provider management, staffing agencies needing fast turnaround across different check types, and companies wanting to compare providers without switching costs

Why Now?

Remote hiring means more checks across more jurisdictions. Ban-the-box laws require nuanced screening workflows. Gig economy growth increases check volume. API-first providers make aggregation technically feasible.

Revenue Model

Per-check margin: 15–25% markup on provider costs. Platform fee: $99/mo (up to 50 checks), $249/mo (200 checks), $499/mo (unlimited). Volume discounts passed through.
