What iprospectcheck does

iprospectcheck is a privately-held U.S. employment screening provider headquartered in Granite Bay/Folsom, California (founded circa 2009-2012), operating as a Fair Credit Reporting Act consumer reporting agency. The company delivers background checks (criminal record, identity, sex offender, global sanctions), in-house employment/education/professional license verifications, DOT and non-DOT drug testing and clinical service coordination, and an ICE-compliant Electronic I-9 with E-Verify integration. Supporting technology includes the SwiftHire Mobile applicant portal and pre-built integrations with iCIMS, PeopleSoft, Kenexa, BrassRing, HRsmart, and E-Verify, with orders placed through dedicated account managers rather than a self-serve B2B signup flow.

The business model is primarily transactional, per-screening pricing with court fees passed through, supplemented by subscription-style recurring revenue from the I-9/E-Verify product. Go-to-market is sales-led: enterprise prospects complete a needs assessment and receive a customized proposal before signing an end-user agreement, with volume discounts available on request; a separate consumer self-service portal serves individuals seeking personal background checks. The company markets through content/SEO (state-specific background check guides), email, organic social (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn), free e-books, and earned media such as a 2026 Analytics Insight recognition for nonprofit screening.

Customer evidence is concentrated across healthcare (Interim Healthcare, Mountain Communities Healthcare District, Auburn Hospital), transportation/trucking (Big Star Transit, Larry Williams Trucking), manufacturing (Generac), staffing (Staffing Etc.), logistics (PostalForce), and a long tail of SMBs across food service, technology, telecom, and general business. No revenue, headcount trend, funding, or M&A data is publicly disclosed; the company is described as founder-led, with co-founder Matthew J. Rodgers (30+ years industry experience, PBSA member since 2009) as the named executive.
