What's at stake in Education & Childcare hiring.
Education and childcare organizations face the highest possible stakes in background screening: the safety of children. State regulations mandate specific background checks for all employees and volunteers who have contact with minors, but requirements vary significantly by state and are frequently updated. The consequences of a screening failure — whether a missed sex offender registry hit or an undetected criminal conviction — are catastrophic and irreversible. Many organizations also screen large numbers of volunteers and student teachers, creating high check volumes with limited administrative resources and budget.
How we solve it.
Our education and childcare screening packages are built around child safety and state compliance requirements. We run comprehensive sex offender registry searches across all 50 states, child abuse and neglect registry checks, and multi-jurisdictional criminal searches — all in a single coordinated workflow. Our compliance team tracks state-specific requirements so your program is always current, and our volunteer screening packages deliver the same thoroughness as employee checks at a price point appropriate for non-revenue-generating positions.
