Background Screening for HR Consultants and Fractional HR: How SafestHires Partners With Thrive HR Consulting
How HR consultants and fractional HR leaders add background screening for their clients, with packages that vary by position — and the Thrive HR Consulting partnership.
Short answer
How can an HR consultant offer background checks to clients?
An HR consultant or fractional HR leader can partner with a screening provider so each client company gets its own account and packages that vary by position type. SafestHires partners with Thrive HR Consulting, which offers project-based and fractional HR support, and sets up custom packages by position for consulting clients. There are no setup fees and no term contract.
Fractional HR leaders and HR consultants often help small and mid-sized companies build hiring processes. Background screening is a frequent part of that work, but the consultant usually is not the employer ordering the check.
The Thrive HR Consulting partnership
Thrive HR Consulting announced its partnership with SafestHires. Thrive describes its services as project-based HR consulting, fractional CHRO support and value-based HR services with predetermined fees.
Thrive and SafestHires also introduced the partnership in a video: Introducing Thrive HR Consulting and SafestHires Partnership.
How the consultant, employer and SafestHires work together
- **The consultant** helps the client decide which positions need which searches.
- **The employer** opens its own SafestHires account and orders the checks.
- **SafestHires** sets up custom packages by position type and delivers reports to the employer.
Packages that vary by position
Clients that come through HR consultants use custom packages that vary by position type. For example, a company might use one package for office staff and another, with a driving record, for field staff. Every package is built from the searches the employer chooses.
Pricing and getting started
Prices depend on the searches in each package and vary by state. See the SafestHires pricing calculator.
SafestHires has no setup fees and no term contract. Consultants can schedule a call. Employers ready to start can read the Master Services Agreement and complete the client sign-up form.
Questions from HR consultants
Does the consultant order checks on the client's behalf?
Usually the client company is the account holder and orders checks itself, with the consultant advising on package design.
Can each client company have different packages?
Yes. Each client account can have its own packages by position type.
