The screening platform staffing firms trust when placement speed and compliance both matter.

Why Staffing Screening Is Different
Staffing background checks are 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
Staffing firms do not run one standard package. One client needs a core criminal screen, another wants MVR and drug testing, and a third requires credentials plus federal checks. PreSearch standardizes those differences so recruiters are not guessing.
Speed Without Recruiter Error
Placements move fast. When recruiters are placing candidates all day, the platform has to keep ordering accurate without slowing them down. Role-based ordering and client-specific packages reduce manual mistakes while keeping turnaround fast.
Different Roles, Different Risk
A warehouse temp, CDL driver, school contractor, and executive placement do not belong in the same screening workflow. Staffing firms need the flexibility to apply the right checks by role, industry, and client requirement without building chaos into the process.
FCRA-Compliant Adverse Action
When a screening result affects placement, federal law requires a compliant adverse action workflow. PreSearch tracks pre-adverse notices, waiting periods, and final notices so staffing teams are not handling it manually in email or spreadsheets.
High-Volume Candidate Onboarding
Staffing workflows live or die on throughput. Branded onboarding links, candidate self-service intake, and automated consent collection help agencies move large candidate volume without adding internal headcount.
Multi-State Placements
Agencies placing across regions need a system that reconciles searches to role, geography, and client requirements automatically. PreSearch helps staffing firms handle multi-state variation without having recruiters memorize state-by-state differences.

FAQ
How does PreSearch handle high-volume staffing workflows?⌄

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 do not 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 are not 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.
