Build a recommended screening package.

Pick your industry, the role type, and the states you hire in. We'll assemble a defensible screening package — with the reasoning behind every search — then price it live in the calculator below.

Short answer

The right background check package depends on the candidate's industry, role type, and the states where they will work.

This tool builds a recommended search list — for example criminal records, verifications, drug testing, or MVR — and explains the reason for each search based on the industry, role, and states you select. It then prices the package live using SafestHires per-search pricing. Selections range from a limited foundation package for laborers to expanded packages for healthcare, transportation, financial services, and executive roles.

2. Role type

3. States you hire in

Recommended package

Pick an industry and role to see a recommended package. These are recommendations only. You may assemble your own custom package
quote below if you wish.

Price your package

Now you can build your quote.

Pick your monthly volume (for live discounts), choose the state you hire in, then add the searches from your recommended package to get your price quote.

Volume discounts kick in at 50, 100, 200, and 500 searches per month.

Criminal database record verification is required with a county or statewide search at the listed price. Jurisdiction and/or other third-party access fees may increase the final package price, if applicable.

Pick à la carte searches. Volume discounts apply to the total per-check price.
