How long does it take to perform a background check?
Clear4Hire’s standard turnaround time for a background check is one to three business days. There are extenuating circumstances when employment verification, education verification or criminal county research is delayed. Here are a few examples of possible delays: • Employers require verifications to be processed by mail. • Education institutions require verifications by mail or are closed for spring/winter breaks. • Criminal courthouses are backlogged with requested or are shorthanded in personnel. • Criminal records would need to be obtained by the court clerk when there is a “Hit”. • Some Motor Vehicle Departments have turnaround times that fall beyond the standard period.
