5 Signs It’s Time to Switch Background Screening Providers

Background screening is one of the most critical parts of your hiring process. Done right, it protects your company, employees, and brand. But when your background screening provider starts creating more problems than they solve, it might be time to reconsider.
Here are five clear signs it’s time to switch providers—and how VeriCorp helps HR teams avoid these headaches.
1. Slow Turnaround Times Are Costing You Candidates
In today’s hiring market, speed matters. If your provider is taking days or even weeks to return results, you’re likely losing top talent to faster competitors.
VeriCorp’s Solution: Our efficient workflows and human-led processes deliver accurate, timely results so you can make hiring decisions quickly without sacrificing quality.
2. Reports Are Full of Errors or Outdated Information
Few things are more frustrating than background reports with wrong SSNs, false records, or outdated charges. Not only does this waste time—it can put your company at risk.
VeriCorp’s Solution: We use FCRA-compliant, source-verified data to ensure accuracy. Every hit is double-checked, reducing risk and giving you confidence in your decisions.
3. You Can't Get Real Customer Support
Tired of chatbots or endless hold times? Many providers cut corners on service, leaving you with no one to call when questions arise.
VeriCorp’s Solution: Our clients talk to real people who care. You get a dedicated support team that knows your account and is always available when you need answers.
4. Hidden Fees and Unclear Pricing
Background screening should be transparent. If you’re getting hit with unexpected charges or confusing invoices, it’s time to reevaluate.
VeriCorp’s Solution: With VeriCorp, what you see is what you get. Our transparent pricing means no surprises—just clear, honest billing.
5. Compliance Isn’t a Priority
Some providers cut corners, reporting on records they shouldn’t, like sealed or expunged cases. That’s a legal risk you can’t afford.
VeriCorp’s Solution: Compliance is at the heart of everything we do. We ensure every report follows federal, state, and local laws, keeping your hiring process both safe and defensible.
