Criminal Background Check and Drug Screening Software

The State of Texas is seeking a comprehensive software solution to facilitate criminal background checks and drug screening for employees. This system should accommodate screening needs for potential, returning, and current staff, and must include features for education and employment verification. The software should support batch reporting, automated services for each candidate, and allow for background checks to be re-triggered in case of failures.

A key requirement is seamless integration with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, achieved either through pre-built integrations or robust APIs. The platform must provide a secure online portal accessible to candidates and HR personnel, supporting secure authentication methods such as SAML 2, SSO, and OAuth 2.0. Additionally, the system should offer a sandbox and test environment to facilitate smooth implementation and troubleshooting.

The software must ensure compliance with higher education and healthcare standards for electronic recordkeeping and reporting and be compatible with all major web browsers. Both recruiters and candidates should have access to real-time status updates on background check progress. Security and compliance are paramount, and the chosen solution should support secure online access throughout the screening process.
