Bchex

Background Check & Drug Testing Services

Rating: 3/5 - (2 reviews)
Bchex is a PBSA-accredited background screening company built for HR teams that need accuracy, turnaround, and compliance support they can defend to legal, leadership, and auditors.
We focus on three sectors where screening mistakes carry the highest consequences: K-12 school districts, healthcare organizations, and nonprofits working with vulnerable populations. Mid-market focused — typically 100 to 5,000 employees.
What we screen
Criminal records (county, state, federal, national), employment and education verification, professional license verification, motor vehicle records, drug and health screening, credit reports, sex offender registry, OIG/SAM exclusion lists, and international background checks. Continuous monitoring available for post-hire compliance.
What HR teams tell us actually matters
A real account manager who picks up the phone — not a ticket queue. Average turnaround that holds up during hiring surges, not just on a slow Tuesday. FCRA-compliant adverse action workflows that don't put your team at legal risk. Proactive guidance on state ban-the-box laws, EEOC guidance, and sector-specific requirements like FBI fingerprint checks for K-12 or OIG checks for healthcare. ATS integrations that don't require an IT project to deploy.
Who we're a good fit for
HR and talent acquisition leaders who've outgrown a low-cost screening tool but don't want to be a small account at a giant provider. Compliance-sensitive sectors where a missed record, a slow report, or a misapplied state law creates real liability. Organizations that want pricing that's transparent and account management that's accountable.
Who we're probably not the right fit for
Volume hirers in retail, gig, or staffing who need the cheapest possible per-screen cost above all else. Single-state employers with no compliance complexity. Companies looking for a self-serve API-only product with no human support.
Credentials and compliance
PBSA accredited. FCRA compliant. SOC 2 reporting available. Experienced with state-specific requirements across all 50 states, including California ICRAA, New York Article 23-A, and ban-the-box jurisdictions.
