Bottom line
PBSA background, drug, and DOT screening for employment, tenants, and volunteers. Pricing is sales-quoted.
Stands out for: One shop for criminal, drug, DOT, credit, and international screens without an enterprise CRA brand.
Watch out for: There is no public per-check menu. Buying starts with sales, and packages are custom.
Overview
PeopleFacts is a background screening company for employment, tenant, and volunteer use. Products cover identity, criminal, civil, driving, healthcare, drug and alcohol, employment and education verifications, credit, references, and international searches. Reports are FCRA-compliant. County, state, federal, and sex-offender searches are offered. The vendor has run screening since 1987 and is a PBSA member. Integrations with ATS and HR tools are mentioned, without a public name list.
HR and property teams pick PeopleFacts for a mid-market CRA that will build a custom package. There is no public dollar card. You request screens through the vendor portal or an integration. Drug and DOT work sit beside the background order. Buying is a sales conversation. There is no numbered trial. This is compliance screening, not a recruiting database.
