Background Checks for Staffing & Recruiting Agencies
Background Checks Built for the Speed Staffing Actually Moves At
Staffing and recruiting agencies place candidates fast, often into multiple client companies with different screening requirements. Sapphire builds packages around that reality - same-day results, flat per-check pricing, and human-reviewed reports your clients can trust.
Checks from $22.50 flat. Results in as little as the same day.
Speed and Compliance Aren't Supposed to Be a Trade-Off
Client companies expect placements fast - and screened.
A slow background check process becomes a bottleneck between a candidate you’ve found and a client waiting to fill a shift.
Different clients, different screening requirements.
One client wants Basic; another wants county-level checks and drug testing. Agencies need packages that flex without slowing down every placement.
A bad placement is your agency's reputation, not just the candidate's problem.
When something goes wrong at a client site, it’s the agency’s screening process that gets questioned first.
Flat Pricing, Fast Turnaround, Packages That Flex Per Client
Sapphire’s Basic, Enhanced, and Premium packages give staffing agencies a clear price to quote clients, with a la carte add-ons – drug testing, MVR, county criminal, license verification – for clients who need more.Sapphire’s Multi-State Criminal search is included in every package, with Statewide, County, and Federal Criminal searches available as add-ons or bundled into the Enhanced and Premium packages.
