Employee re-screening, also referred to as ongoing or periodic background checks, is conducted after the hiring process has been completed. It’s used to monitor current team members for new information that may affect their continued employment or suitability for evolving roles.
There are several ideal times to conduct a re-screen, including annually or biannually as part of a company policy, during promotions or role changes, prior to contract renewals for long-term contractors, or in response to specific incidents or compliance requirements. Re-screening is also common in highly regulated industries such as healthcare, finance, and education, where continuous compliance with laws and licensing standards is non-negotiable.
For employers with customer-facing or safety-sensitive roles, ongoing checks help maintain the high level of trust clients and partners expect from your brand.
Confirmify provides customizable re-screening options that allow you to focus on the areas most relevant to your business. Common services include updated criminal record checks, driving record reviews, verification of active licenses and certifications, and optional credit checks for financial roles. These checks are designed to identify any new risks or changes in an employee’s background that may have occurred since their initial screening.
All of our reports are FCRA-compliant and designed to be both comprehensive and appropriate for the employee’s current role, ensuring that your screening practices are fair, consistent, and legally sound.
Re-screening provides employers with ongoing visibility into their workforce and helps mitigate future risk. From supporting workplace safety and protecting company assets to ensuring compliance with federal, state, or client-driven requirements, re-screening is a proactive measure that shows your organization takes responsibility seriously.
It also provides reassurance to clients, stakeholders, and team members that everyone within your organization meets the same high standards — not just at the time of hire, but throughout their time with your company.

That’s why we offer flexible, accurate, and efficient screening options tailored to your operational needs and risk profile.
