Why HR Screening Services

Screening that works the way you do

We didn't build just another background check portal. We built a service designed around how HR teams actually operate — with live support, fast answers, and no guesswork.

⚡
Reports that don't make you wait
Most checks come back in 24–48 hours. We build our process around your timeline so your pipeline keeps moving.
🔬
Every report is human-reviewed
Our QA team reads each report before it reaches you — catching errors, flagging inconsistencies, making the data actionable.
📜
Compliance without the headache
FCRA, state-specific rules, adverse action letters — we handle the compliance layer so you don't need to become an employment law expert.
🔗
Works with or without an ATS
HR Screening works great as a standalone service — no ATS required. For clients using ZippyApp ATS, checks can be ordered and tracked directly inside your hiring dashboard.
🤙
A team that actually picks up
Our specialists are reachable by phone and email, know your account, and won't leave you guessing about a flagged result.
💡
Pricing that makes sense
Each check is priced individually. Some searches carry pass-through fees (court, state, or agency fees) that vary by location — we'll always give you a clear picture before you commit.
How It Works

From request to result — four clear steps

We built our process to stay out of your way while doing all the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

1
Submit the Order
Log in, pick a package, add the candidate — or let the applicant submit their own information.
2
Research Begins
Each component routes instantly to our research team — criminal, employment, education, and more running in parallel.
3
QA Review
A specialist reviews the report for accuracy and compliance before anything leaves our desk.
4
Decision Time
Your clean, verified report lands in your inbox — and automatically in your ZippyApp dashboard if you use it. Make the call with clear information in hand.

HR Screening works as a standalone service — no ATS required. But if you're using ZippyApp ATS, watch how seamlessly it fits: order a check from a candidate's profile, track it in real time, and receive results without ever leaving your hiring workflow.

🔍

Criminal Checks

Multi-Jurisdictional Database
A single search that sweeps criminal records across thousands of jurisdictions nationwide — the fastest way to surface a national criminal history.
Federal District Criminal Search
Searches federal court records for crimes tried at the federal level — fraud, drug trafficking, white-collar offenses, and more.
State Criminal Search
State-level criminal history searches where available. Coverage and reliability vary by state — our team can advise on the best approach for your specific needs.
County Criminal Search
The most thorough criminal search available — directly from county court records where the candidate has lived or worked.
International Criminal Record Search
For candidates with international work or residency history. Covers criminal records in countries where records are accessible.
Nationwide Sex Offender Search
Searches all 50-state sex offender registries plus U.S. territories including Puerto Rico and Guam (Megan's Law databases) — essential for roles working with vulnerable populations.
⚖️

Civil Checks

Federal Civil Records Search
Searches federal civil court records for lawsuits, judgments, and civil matters filed in federal district courts.
County Civil Records Search
Uncovers civil litigation history at the county level — including small claims, civil suits, and restraining orders.
👥

Employment / Professional Reference Check
Structured conversations with professional references — documented responses to standardized questions, delivered in a written report.
Employment Verification
Direct outreach to past employers to confirm dates, job titles, and rehire eligibility — up to 7 years of history.
Personal Reference Checks
Character and personal reference verification for roles where interpersonal trust matters as much as credentials.
🗂️

Other Services

SSN Trace Report
Searches credit header databases (rental history, credit applications, and similar records) to surface address history and identify names associated with a number. Note: this is not conducted through the Social Security Administration. For SSA-verified name/number matching, ask about our separate Social Security Number Verification service.
Education Verification
Verifies the highest degree obtained directly with the institution. Catches diploma fraud before it becomes a costly hiring mistake.
Driving Records Search (MVR)
Motor vehicle record search covering license status, violations, suspensions, DUIs, and at-fault accidents. Required for any driving role.
OFAC / Terrorist Registry Search
Checks candidates against OFAC's SDN list and other global terrorist and sanctions registries — critical for regulated industries.
Military Record Verification
Verifies military service history, discharge status, and rank — important for roles that value or require military experience.
Workers' Compensation Report
Reviews prior workers' comp claims where available. Helps inform decisions for physically demanding or safety-sensitive positions.
Drug Screening
5-panel and 9/10-panel urine drug screening. Pre-employment, random, and post-incident programs available. DOT-compliant options included.
⚡
Recruiting and background screening don't have to live in two different systems.
HR Screening works great on its own — but if you use ZippyApp ATS, background checks become part of your hiring flow. Order from a candidate's profile, watch status update in real time, and get results without ever leaving the platform. No extra tab. No extra login.

Our Story

We're the screening partner
you always wished you had

Fast reporting, human support, and deep integration with the tools your HR team already uses.

Why We Built This

The background check process was broken.
We fixed it.

Most screening vendors operate like it's 2005 — clunky portals, vague timelines, and support that disappears the moment you sign up. HR teams were left navigating confusing reports, chasing down results, and hoping nothing slipped through the cracks.

We built HR Screening Services to be the opposite of that. Every report goes through human quality review. Every client gets a real contact. And because we're woven into the ZippyApp ATS and the Canary hiring ecosystem, your screening connects directly to everything else — from the first application to the signed offer letter.

The result: faster hires, cleaner compliance, and an HR team that doesn't dread background check season.

Two birds discussing background screening
The Team

The specialists behind every report

Background screening is a people business. These are the people who make it work.

Suzanne
Senior Screening Specialist
Suzanne oversees quality and compliance, making sure every report meets the highest standard of accuracy. She's always reachable when something needs a closer look.
M
Michele
Client Success Manager
Michele is your go-to from onboarding to day-to-day support. She moves quickly when something comes up and genuinely cares about making your hiring process run smoothly.

How We Operate

Three things we never compromise on

🔬
Quality over speed (but we'll give you both)
We never ship a report without a human reviewing it first. Speed matters — but not if it means you get a result you can't rely on.
📞
Availability isn't optional
If a result raises a flag, we're there to talk it through. Real names, real phone numbers, a team that knows what you're working on.
⚖️
Compliance is built in, not bolted on
FCRA requirements, adverse action workflows, state-specific rules — we build these into the process so you're protected without thinking about it.
Part of a bigger picture
Powered by Canary Hiring Technologies
HR Screening Services is part of Canary Hiring Technologies — an AI-powered platform built to help employers hire smarter, stay compliant, and turn every new hire into measurable savings. Canary automates the parts of hiring most companies get wrong: capturing tax credits that go unclaimed, keeping new hires past the critical 90-day mark, and managing the paperwork stack that slows everyone down. HR Screening plugs directly into that ecosystem — so your background checks aren't a separate silo. They're part of the same story, from first application to first day on the job.
Tax Credit Service
AI-powered WOTC and hiring tax credit automation — up to $9,600 per eligible hire, no spreadsheets required.
Applicant Tracking (ATS)
Easy job posting, recruiting, screening, and candidate communication — with automatic tax credit eligibility flagging.
Onboarding
Paperless, mobile-friendly onboarding that cuts admin time in half — offer letters, direct deposit, tax docs, all digital.
I-9 Compliance
Paperless I-9s with AI error checks, mobile entry, and secure storage — compliant from day one.
E-Verify
Instant work authorization verification — automated, compliant results in seconds.
Recruiting Agent
AI-assisted recruiting that streamlines hiring, identifies top candidates, and flags tax-credit-eligible applicants automatically.

Quick Answers

Things people usually ask

Do I have to commit to a contract?
No contracts, no minimums, no lock-in. You pay per report. Start whenever you're ready and scale based on your actual hiring volume.
How does billing work?
We invoice monthly based on actual usage. High-volume and enterprise clients can arrange net-30 terms — just ask when you get in touch.
Can I pick checks à la carte?
Absolutely. The packages are a sensible starting point, but every component can be added or removed. We'll help you figure out exactly what your roles require.
What if I only need occasional checks?
No problem at all. No minimum order — run a single check at any time. Same QA process, same turnaround, same support as always.
