ScoutLogic Screening

What ScoutLogic Screening does

ScoutLogic Screening is a privately-held, U.S.-based background screening company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The company provides a full suite of approximately 17 pre-employment screening services organized into four categories: identity and credentials (education, employment, executive, I-9, identity, and professional license verification); criminal and legal history (civil records, criminal searches, sex offender checks); health, safety, and compliance (DOT solutions, drug testing, healthcare sanctions, occupational health); and financial, digital, and driving records (bulk packages, MVR, credit, social media screening). Its primary differentiator is the dedicated "Scout" service model, in which each client is assigned a named researcher who manages the full screening workflow from candidate communication to verification challenges.

The company operates on the TazCloud SaaS platform, which hosts the QuickApp applicant portal and Taz management interface. It is PBSA-accredited, FCRA-compliant with certified researchers, and certified under the EU-U.S., UK Extension, and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks, supporting screening operations across the U.S., Canada, the EU, the UK, and Switzerland. ScoutLogic reports operational quality metrics of under 0.02% dispute rate, over 97% average verification completion rate, 1-day criminal search turnaround, under 3-day verifications, and 24-hour package-change capability.

ScoutLogic sells primarily through an enterprise field sales motion with dedicated Scout teams, supplemented by inside sales for mid-market and a website self-service quote flow for SMB. Pricing is described as transparent and customizable on a pay-as-you-go basis, with no public price points disclosed. The company targets staffing agencies, managed service providers (MSPs), enterprise employers, healthcare, transportation/logistics, banking, gig economy, non-profits, employer of record providers, and mid-market/SMB customers. The company is led by Co-founder and CEO David Garcia and an executive team including CCO Bill James, COO Christine Gutierrez, CISO Jeremy Schumacher, and CPO Kris Petersen, with no public funding rounds, acquisitions, or revenue figures disclosed.
