What Viewpoint Screening does

Viewpoint Screening is a Wilmington, North Carolina-based background screening and health compliance platform primarily serving educational institutions and their students, with secondary offerings for employers and individuals. The company delivers web-based background check services — including county, state, and federal criminal record searches, a proprietary nationwide database covering over 200 million records across all 50 states, sex offender registry checks, and terrorist watch list / OFAC screening — alongside drug screening and a Health Portal™ document management system used to track immunizations and clinical placement compliance. Employers receive customized background check packages with dedicated account manager support, while schools use branded ordering portals that let students self-serve into background checks, drug tests, and health document uploads reviewed within one business day.

The platform is a web application with an online ordering flow, a results dashboard, and a summary view that consolidates each report component's status, supported by share-results functionality and an optional eLearning compliance module. Distribution is dual-channel: a self-serve website for schools and individuals (with a nationwide school locator covering all 50 states and Washington DC) and direct sales via account managers for employer accounts. Drug specimen collection is fulfilled through a channel partnership with LabCorp and other certified collection sites, with negative results returned in 1–2 business days and non-negative results routed to MRO review.

Viewpoint Screening generates revenue on a pure transaction-fee basis across three streams: background check services, drug screening, and Health Portal document management. Pricing is quote-based for employer packages and per-transaction for school and individual orders, with no public standardized pricing. The company is privately held, has 11 employees, and has no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional investors. It operates exclusively in the United States.
