Staffing and Recruitment

Background screening helps staffing and recruitment agencies fulfill their dual responsibility: providing qualified candidates to businesses and ensuring a safe and secure work environment. SmartHRCheqs ™’s services help you:

• Reduce Risk and Liability: Thorough background checks mitigate the chance of placing candidates with a history of violence, theft, or other concerning behaviors, protecting your agency and its clients.
• Enhance Client Satisfaction: By presenting well-vetted candidates, you build trust and confidence with your clients, leading to stronger business partnerships.
• Expedite Placements: Our streamlined background screening process helps ensure a faster turnaround time, allowing you to connect qualified candidates with open positions efficiently.
• Stay Compliant: SmartHRCheqs ™ stays up-to-date on evolving regulations to ensure your background screening practices comply with all federal, State, and local laws.

We understand the unique needs of the staffing and recruitment industry and provide a customizable range of services, including:

• Credit Reports (Employment Purpose): Gain insights into an applicant’s financial responsibility without impacting their credit score. (Available for positions handling sensitive financial information.)
• Drug and Occupational Health Screening: Promote a safe and healthy work environment for your clients with a variety of drug testing options (urine, hair, saliva) and comprehensive wellness programs. (May be required by some clients.)
• Employment Verification: Confirm an applicant’s employment history with previous employers to ensure accuracy.
• Education Verification: Verify the legitimacy of an applicant’s educational credentials, particularly for specialized positions.
• Professional License Verification: Ensure the validity of professional licenses required for specific positions.

The specific background screening requirements for a candidate will vary depending on the type of position they are applying for. SmartHRCheqs ™ can help you tailor your screening process to fit the needs of each job:

• Temporary and Contract Workers: Criminal history checks, employment verification, and drug screening (if required by the client) are common practices for temporary placements.
• Direct Hires and Permanent Placements: More comprehensive background checks, including credit reports (for relevant positions) and professional license verification, may be recommended for permanent placements.
