How SafestHires Supports Staffing Agencies: Packages Built Around Each Client's Requirements
Staffing agencies screen to their clients' rules. Here is how SafestHires sets up packages that vary by client requirement and position.
Short answer
How do staffing agencies set up background check packages?
Staffing agencies usually need more than one package because each client company sets its own screening requirements. SafestHires sets up separate packages for staffing agencies that match each client's requirements and position types, so a recruiter can choose the right package when placing a candidate. There are no setup fees and no term contract.
A staffing agency hires on behalf of other companies. That means the agency's background check is often defined by its client: one client may require only a county criminal search, while another requires a driving record, drug test or employment verification.
SafestHires serves staffing agencies across light industrial, professional and other placements. Rather than one package, these agencies use packages that **vary by their client requirements**.
Why staffing agencies need multiple packages
- **Client contracts set the scope.** The agency screens to whatever the client company requires for that placement.
- **Positions differ.** A forklift role, a driver and an office assistant rarely need the same searches.
- **Redeployment.** A worker moving to a new client may need additional searches that client requires.
How SafestHires sets up staffing packages
- List each client's screening requirements and the positions you fill for them.
- SafestHires builds a named package for each combination, such as "Client A – Warehouse" or "Client B – Driver."
- Recruiters pick the right package when they send the candidate invitation.
- Packages can be updated when a client changes its requirements.
Common searches in staffing packages include county and federal criminal searches, nationwide criminal database searches, sex offender registries, driving records, drug testing, and employment or education verification. The exact mix depends on the client.
