Partner program for CRAs

Add reference checks to your screening menu, at your margin.

Stickier clients

No callers to hire

Automation does the outreach. Your operations team doesn't grow.

Partner FAQ

Questions from screening companies

Who is the partner program for?

Consumer reporting agencies and background screening companies that sell employment screening to employers or staffing firms.

How does reseller pricing work?

Partners buy checks at wholesale rates based on monthly volume and set their own client price. Our standard retail price is $18.00 per applicant. We share the wholesale schedule after the intro call.

Who handles candidate and reference support?

For referral partners, we do. Resellers and white-label partners choose: we can provide support behind your brand, or your team can handle it with escalation to us.

Can references be ordered with our existing packages?

Yes. Add a reference check as a line item in any package. Through the API or partner portal, it's ordered with the rest of the search.

How is compliance handled?

Every check includes candidate consent and a full audit trail. We'll work with your compliance team so reference checks fit your existing disclosure and authorization process.
