Not true. Background checks vary significantly based on the role, industry, and the information an employer is looking for. A background check for a delivery driver, for example, will likely include a Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) search, while one for a finance role might include a credit history review. Confirmify allows employers to tailor background checks to each position — ensuring relevance, compliance, and efficiency.
While criminal records are a core part of most screenings, background checks can include far more — such as identity verification, employment and education history, reference checks, license verifications, and more. Employers use this broader data to make informed, fair decisions based on a complete picture of the candidate.
With Confirmify, this simply isn’t the case. Our average turnaround time is 8 hours to 3 days, and many checks return results instantly. In fact, most of our clients see a 30–50% reduction in turnaround time compared to their previous background screening provider.
A criminal record doesn’t automatically disqualify a candidate. Employers are encouraged to consider the nature of the offense, how long ago it occurred, and whether it’s relevant to the job in question. At Confirmify, we provide clear, legally compliant reports that allow for individualized assessments — a best practice that many companies follow.
In fact, you can — and should. Individuals have the right to request and review their own background reports. Confirmify offers candidate-friendly services that make it easy for individuals to view and understand their background information before or during the hiring process.
Initial screening is just the first step. Many employers implement periodic re-screening, especially in roles involving sensitive data, financial responsibilities, or safety concerns. Confirmify supports employers with on-demand re-screening options to ensure continued compliance and workplace safety.
While public records play a key role, Confirmify uses a verified network of data sources that includes both public and private databases — all accessed in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). This ensures accuracy, reliability, and legal integrity in every report we deliver.
At Confirmify, we’re not just here to deliver background checks — we’re here to do it better. That means providing accurate, timely, FCRA-compliant reports that empower informed, responsible hiring. It also means helping job seekers and employers understand how background screening really works.
