Why Should You Run a Background Check?

When you’re responsible for hiring, even just one person, background checks are more than a box to check. They’re a tool to help you hire smarter, safer, and with confidence.

  • You want to protect your workplace from unsafe or unqualified hires.
  • You want to avoid liability by staying compliant with hiring laws.
  • You want to ensure your candidate is who they say they are and that their history supports your trust.

Where Do You Even Start?​

You don’t need to be an expert to get started. We help you build a background check process that fits your needs, your industry, and your budget.

  • Start with your job role. A background check for an office assistant is different than one for a school bus driver.
  • Decide what’s most important: criminal history? work history? education?
  • Swailes will walk you through what matters and what’s allowed in your state.

  1. You tell us what role you’re hiring for.
  2. We recommend the right types of background checks.
