How much is a background check?

Companies that provide background check services normally base their prices and costs on;

• The type of search

  The type of search refers to the specific components that are being checked for in the background check and the methods and resources the company must employ to do so. For instance, a background check company might have to scan the national registry for criminals, do a county-based criminal check, and employment verification- Three total search types.

• The relative depth of the search

  This contributing factor to the cost of a background check refers to how extensive the background check company's search must be. If they only need to access one criminal database, it is going to be a lot cheaper than if they need to access several.

• The "hit" rate obtained from the search

  Hit rate refers to the percentage of resorts that have been found in a search because they might have a negative item concerning the job candidate. Candidates that have lower hit rates are far cheaper in terms of a background check than those that have very high hit rates.

• The labor required for each search

  Labor required refers to the cost associated with the number of searches the company performs, the time it takes them to review the information, and put together a comprehensive report to give to the employer. The company must review the information to make sure it is accurate and compliant before sending it to the employer.
