FAQ

It depends!

While our typical background checks can be completed instantly to within 48 hours, there are a number of factors that can result in a background check being delivered faster or slower.

For example, some counties and states grant electronic access to records, making them quicker to find than those places that require someone to search for records in person. Additionally, a background check that returns no records on a candidate will often be returned faster than one where we find records. That’s because we hand verify each hit before reporting them to you.

It all comes down to how each location has set up their record collection process. Some counties and states still require a court runner to physically go to their courthouse to retrieve records. As you can imagine, this manual process is not nearly as quick as conducting an electronic search! When a county or state has an automated, electronic process, we’re able to access the records much faster.

Our drug testing process was designed to be easy for both you and your candidate. Your candidate will schedule their drug test through the JDP platform, where they’ll be able to choose a lab location that’s convenient for them. Once they schedule their appointment, they’ll get a chain of custody to take to the lab. After the test is conducted, results will be shared directly with you in the JDP platform.
