In the world of hiring, ensuring the right candidate fit is essential for both healthcare and general staffing agencies. This is where background checks come in—they help organizations make informed hiring decisions while safeguarding their organization’s integrity. However, navigating through these checks can be daunting and expensive, often requiring manual work and lengthy back-and-forth across multiple vendors.

Let’s delve into these three important state background checks that can affect your hiring process.
Understanding state background checks
Background checks are tailored based on various factors like geographic location and job role. State-specific background checks are just one of these tailored background checks.
State background checks refer to a subset of checks specifically focused on state-level charges. They can reveal criminal charges and convictions brought against an individual at the state level, including police and law enforcement reports. National, Federal, and County checks are also often included in both individual healthcare facility and MSP hiring requirements. It’s standard practice for companies to run common background checks like federal checks, national checks, criminal checks, sex offender, and county checks.
Second level checks, such as state-specific background checks, involve visiting a website that’s held by state police. In addition to taking the extra steps to access each specific website, there are often paywalls and other barriers that make these records difficult to access. To help organizations ease the burden of processing state-level checks, there are vendor partnerships that operate as an all-in-one partner so you can focus on other aspects of hiring and employee retention.
Whether you’re running comprehensive checks on all new hires or checking on a case-by-case basis, look for areas of the process you can outsource. Doing so will take some of the load off of your team and give you insight on what checks are being performed—and ensure that you’re staying up to par with all compliance requirements and expectations.
