What background check services include
Background check services help employers confirm that an applicant’s history matches what they reported, and that nothing in their record rules them out for the role. A screening provider runs the searches, verifies information with schools and past employers, and delivers a report you can use within the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
VICTIG builds each screening package around the job. A warehouse role, a nurse and a delivery driver need different checks, so you order only what the position calls for.
Our screening services
- Criminal background checks: county, statewide, federal and national criminal searches, plus international checks. Sex offender registries are included in the national criminal search.
- Drug screening: 5, 7, 9 and 10-panel tests, DOT panels and custom panels, using urine, saliva, hair or breath. More than 10,000 collection sites, certified labs and MRO review of every lab result.
- Employment verification: confirms position and dates with past employers, with the applicant’s permission. VICTIG never asks about salary.
- Education verification: confirms degrees, diplomas and GEDs through the National Student Clearinghouse or the school registrar, including international degrees through a vendor partner.
- Motor vehicle reports: driving records from all 50 states, most returned instantly, with continuous MVR monitoring available.
- Employment credit reports: financial history for roles that handle money or sensitive accounts, where the law allows.
- Health sanctions search: exclusion and sanctions screening for healthcare employers.
How ordering works
- You choose a package for the role and send the applicant an invitation.
- The applicant completes the Quick App, gives consent and can mark any employer “Do Not Contact.”
- VICTIG runs the searches and verifications. Drug test applicants sign in and pick an approved collection site.
- Results arrive in your VICTIG account, with regular reports on any court delays.
You can also order from your applicant tracking or HR system. See ATS integrations, or connect directly through TazAPI.

Talk to SalesFrequently asked questions
What do background check services include?
Most employers start with criminal searches and add drug screening, employment and education verification, driving records or credit reports depending on the role. VICTIG builds the package around the position, so you only order the checks the job requires.
How long does a background check take?
VICTIG's average turnaround is 1.8 days. Some searches take longer, such as court searches with delays, employment verifications (3–5 business days on average) and drug tests (3–5 business days after the lab receives the sample). See our background check turnaround guide.
Are background check services FCRA compliant?
The FCRA applies to both the screening provider and the employer. VICTIG is PBSA accredited and supports the required disclosure, consent and adverse action steps, but employers still need their own compliant hiring process.
Can I order background checks from my ATS?
Yes. VICTIG integrates with applicant tracking and HR systems, and developers can connect through TazAPI. See ATS integrations.
Do you include sex offender registry searches?
Yes. Sex offender registries are included in VICTIG's national criminal search, not sold separately.
Will you contact an applicant's current employer?
Only with the applicant's permission. Applicants can mark any employer "Do Not Contact," and VICTIG emails them for permission before reaching out.
