What RecruitScreen does

RecruitScreen, LLC is a US-based pre-employment and business screening company founded in October 2007 by two compliance industry veterans and headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia. The firm offers a modular portfolio of screening services spanning criminal background checks (federal, state, county, covering all 50 states and Washington D.C.), civil court searches, SSN validation, credit reports, driving history, sex offender registry checks, employment/education/income/license verifications, drug screening, healthcare sanctions checks, business/corporate officer screening, tenant screening, and terrorist watch list screening. Service delivery relies on a web-based client portal (secure-screening.net) combined with consultant-prepared summary reports, rather than a fully automated adjudication engine.

The company operates as a privately held LLC with 1-10 employees and no disclosed external funding or institutional investors. Its go-to-market blends direct consultant-led sales (targeting enterprise and tailored package design) with a self-serve online channel for SMB and individual buyers and a B2B affiliate referral program offering 4% residual commissions. Pricing is transaction-based and quote-driven across pre-configured packages and customized bundles, with no publicly disclosed price list. RecruitScreen maintains FCRA compliance and is audited by Credit Bureaus, and it has integrated with laboratory partners (LabCorp, Quest Diagnostics) for drug testing and with The Hart Group for combined HR outsourcing offerings.

Customer segmentation is horizontal — general businesses of all sizes are the primary segment, with additional use-case segments in property management, healthcare, and M&A/corporate due diligence. The company markets nationally but operates from a single US location, has no disclosed international footprint, and has no AI/ML capabilities, patents, or external capital events on record.
