SafestHires connects to National Student Clearinghouse through our open XML/JSON API, so your team orders FCRA-compliant background checks without leaving the platform they already work in.
How the National Student Clearinghouse connection works
Degree, enrollment, and credential requests route to the registrar or clearinghouse of record.

Confirmed degree, dates attended, and major post back into the report as they clear.
