Accurate Background

Accurate Background is a massive, highly scalable player that specifically targets the "mid-market to enterprise" transition phase. It is highly favored by rapidly growing retail chains, franchisors, and mid-sized healthcare networks that need the raw horsepower of a Sterling or HireRight, but prefer a more agile, modern technology stack. Its strongest feature is the "Accurate Compliance Engine." Employment law is an absolute nightmare; the laws regarding what you can and cannot ask a candidate about their criminal history (known as "Ban the Box" laws) change wildly depending on what state, county, or even specific city the applicant lives in. Accurate automatically dynamically adjusts the background check consent forms based on the applicant's exact zip code, shielding the HR department from massive class-action lawsuits. It also features incredibly deep integration with almost every major ATS (Applicant Tracking System) on the market. An HR manager living inside Workday or Oracle never has to log into the Accurate portal. They simply click "Initiate Background Check" inside Workday, and the results seamlessly flow back into the candidate's profile a few days later, color-coded green or red.
