Overview
This article is for all users who want to understand the screening and background services available through ProScreening in the ATS. It outlines each service category, key use cases, and compliance considerations so you can choose the right options for your hiring process while maintaining control over who can order and view reports.
ProScreening Services Offered
Criminal Record Searches
Provide insight into an applicant’s character and help protect your company’s assets, employees, and customers.
