Who will I talk to at Bchex?
The sales rep who covers your state, or your county in North Carolina. Send the form on this page and you’ll see their name and calendar right away. Prefer a call back? Skip the calendar and your rep will reach out by email or phone.
How much does a background check cost with Bchex?
It depends on the searches your roles need, so your rep builds a package around them instead of selling a fixed bundle. Have a written quote for an identical check from a PBSA-accredited provider? Bchex will match it. See the terms.
How fast are Bchex background checks?
About 85% of eligible searches come back within 24 hours, and more than 70% within 6 hours. Searches that need a court clerk to pull records by hand, international checks, and employment or education verifications can take longer. Speed is part of the Bchex Triple Guarantee.
Can we switch background check providers without starting over?
Yes. Your rep maps the packages, users and locations you have today so your team keeps working the way it does now. Bchex integrates with major HR platforms and offers an open API, so your applicant tracking system can stay in place.
Does Bchex help us stay FCRA compliant?
Bchex supports your compliance work. It is accredited by the Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA) and is SOC 2 Type 2 certified for security, confidentiality and availability. Your organization still makes every hiring decision.
Does Bchex screen volunteers and school staff?
Yes. SecureVolunteer handles volunteer screening, scheduling and management in one place, and Bchex screens for 90% of North Carolina school districts and 50% of South Carolina school districts. Online training courses for staff and volunteers are available too.
