Features
Everything included. Nothing hidden.
One $5 background check unlocks national criminal search, free address history, identity verification, an AI-native interface, full API access, and a free hiring management suite.
The FCRA-compliant hiring screening platform —
everything included, nothing hidden.
Other platforms charge extra for these. We don't.
National Criminal Check
$5 per report
We search 650M+ court records across all jurisdictions — county, state, and federal courts, sex offender registries, FBI Most Wanted, OFAC sanctions, and global watchlists. If county records exist but can't be verified under FCRA guidelines, we tell you and refund your fee. No games.
- County, state & federal courts
- Sex offender registry (all 50 states)
- FBI Most Wanted & OFAC
- FCRA-compliant results report
Address History Check
Free. Always.
Every candidate application includes a free address history pull. We verify what they report against what we find. Gaps, inconsistencies, or addresses they "forgot" to mention get flagged before you spend a dime on a criminal check.
- Digital candidate e-form with FCRA authorization
- Real-time address cross-reference
- Instant flag on discrepancies
- No credits used, ever
NLP Interface
Included at no extra cost
We own the Natural Language Prompt space for pre-employment screening. Just talk to PreHireBadge. "Run a background check on Michael Chen, born March 4, 1988, last in Tucson." That's it. We handle the rest — including walking you through adverse action if a record is found.
- Plain-English background check requests
- Instant results with plain-English explanations
- FCRA adverse action notice generation
- Integrates with Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini
API & Webhook
Included at no extra cost
Fully documented REST API and Webhook support. Plug PreHireBadge into your ATS, HRIS, or your AI tool of choice. One API key. 1 credit = 1 background check, consumed the same way regardless of how you access us — in-app, mobile, or API.

}Next-gen identity verification
We verify the human — not just the name on the application.
PreHireBadge is the only pre-employment screening platform that ties a real, verified identity to every application: a biometric face match against a government photo ID, then triangulated against the SSN trace and address history behind the check. A borrowed clean identity can't get through.
Biometric facial match
A live liveness selfie — proof a real person is present, not a photo.
Government photo ID
The selfie is matched face-to-face against their official ID document.
SSN + address triangulation
Identity cross-checked against the SSN trace and address history on the report.
Enterprise-grade verification at a small-business price. The same rigor banks use — built into every $5 check.

Natural Language Interface
Just tell us who to screen. We handle the rest.
No forms to fill out. No dropdown menus. No uploading spreadsheets. You describe the candidate in plain English — or through your favorite AI assistant — and PreHireBadge runs the check, interprets the results, and tells you exactly what to do next.
If a result requires adverse action under FCRA, we generate the notice for you. You review it, you send it. No guesswork. No legal exposure from doing it wrong.
