For years, background screening has centered on speed, accuracy, and compliance. Those priorities haven't changed, nor should they.
What I've noticed in conversations with employers, staffing firms, and background screening providers is that another priority now comes up just as often: predictability.
Organizations want to know what screening will cost, how it will move through the process, and what to expect before they place an order. They are looking for an experience that is not only accurate and compliant, but also easier to forecast, manage, and scale.
How Screening Is Delivered Today
Traditional criminal and driving record screening wasn't designed with that kind of consistency in mind. Variable court and access fees, individually assembled searches, and fulfillment workflows that can shift from one order to the next make costs harder to forecast, billing harder to reconcile, and compliance outcomes less consistent.
That variability is built into how screening is structured today. Increasingly, organizations are asking for screening itself to be simpler and more consistent.
A Different Approach
That's the gap our partnership with Kredifi is built to close.
Kredifi has developed predefined, flat-rate criminal and driving record screening packages that simplify the screening experience from the start. Organizations access the offering through Kredifi's global screening platform, with court and DMV fees included in a single price. Through automated workflows, every order returns a fully FCRA-compliant report, regardless of outcome. That means the cost is set before the order is placed, not reconciled after the fact.
InformData powers the offering through our network of verifiable people data, providing the criminal and driving record searches behind the scenes. Together, Kredifi's platform and InformData's network bring one price, automated fulfillment, and a compliant report regardless of outcome.
Rather than assembling searches individually or navigating variable fees throughout the process, organizations can rely on predefined screening packages that bring greater consistency from order to order.
Built for High-Volume, High-Attrition Industries
These dynamics show up across staffing, hospitality, retail, manufacturing and distribution, oil and gas, and construction, where hiring volume and turnover are high.
The offering helps employers hire faster, helps staffing firms protect margins, and helps background screening providers expand their offerings without impacting existing operations.
Kredifi's platform also supports a growing interest in giving individuals more control over their own background information, enabling people to self-screen and share reports directly with prospective employers.
A Partnership Built Around a Common Goal
Today, organizations aren't asking for less thorough screening. They're asking for a process that's easier to understand, more consistent from one order to the next, and better aligned with the way modern businesses operate.
Our partnership with Kredifi is one example of how we're meeting those expectations—combining Kredifi's screening platform with InformData's network of verifiable people data to deliver a simpler, more predictable approach to criminal and driving record screening.
