Get a Free QuoteBackground screening for Dallas employers
Dallas employers hire across healthcare, staffing, logistics, hospitality, financial services, and professional offices. An applicant for a Dallas job may have lived in Dallas County, in Collin County, in another Texas county, or outside Texas. SaffHire orders criminal searches for the jurisdictions on that address history, so a Dallas job is not limited to a Dallas County search when the applicant lived somewhere else.
SaffHire was founded by Robert Krebsbach, John Waak, and Jody Thigpen and is headquartered in Frisco, TX. Dallas is a market SaffHire serves. It is not a second headquarters. Dallas employers order criminal background checks, employment verification, education verification, drug screening, and motor vehicle records in the same portal used by clients in other states. There are no setup fees and no minimums. The client portal is available 24/7. Our screening platform is SOC 2 Type 2 audited (SSAE 18).
- These searches usually return in minutes: Motor Vehicle Reports, Sex Offender registry searches, Global Security Watch List searches, SSN traces, state database searches, and National Criminal Database searches.
- State and county searches follow the applicant's address history, including Dallas County when the applicant lived there and other counties when the history shows them.
- Court access fees may apply to state and county searches and are passed through. State fees may apply to motor vehicle reports.
- The applicant receives a standalone FCRA disclosure and provides written authorization through SaffHire's invitation workflow before the report is ordered.

Searches Dallas employers commonly add
A national criminal database search is often the starting point, together with an SSN trace, a Sex Offender registry search, and a Global Security Watch List search. National databases are aggregated and incomplete, so many Dallas employers add county criminal background checks for each county where the applicant has lived. If that history includes Dallas County, the county search is ordered there. If it includes other Texas counties or other states, those jurisdictions are ordered too. The full criminal offering is described on criminal background checks.
Logistics and other driving roles add MVR checks for license status and driving history. Healthcare employers can add healthcare sanctions and OIG checks to a package that also includes the criminal searches the role requires. Hospitality and customer-facing roles often use the same criminal and verification searches as other industries. The industries overview shows how screening is organized by type of employer.
Employment verification and education verification check what the applicant reported. Drug screens are ordered in the portal, collected at Labcorp, and returned through the portal. See drug screening for pre-employment, random, post-accident, and reasonable-suspicion testing, including DOT and non-DOT options.
Staffing agencies that fill Dallas openings, including openings for client sites in other cities, should read staffing agency background checks. Average turnaround for standard packages is published on Standard Packages and Turnaround, from 1 day to 2-5 days depending on the package. County searches and verifications still depend on courts, prior employers, and schools. The FAQ answers the questions employers ask before the first order.
Frisco, TX headquarters, Dallas employers included
Describe SaffHire's location as Frisco, TX. Dallas employers are served from that headquarters on a nationwide platform. A Dallas clinic, warehouse, staffing desk, hotel, or professional office orders the same way a client in another state orders. The report covers the applicant's history, which is why a candidate who moved to Dallas from another state is not screened as if they had always lived in Dallas County.
The Texas background checks page is the statewide companion to this Dallas page. It covers the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, public Texas DPS conviction and deferred adjudication records, and the practice of adding county searches to a repository search. This is general information, not legal advice. Employers remain responsible for their own hiring decisions and legal compliance.
The employer enters the applicant's name and email. SaffHire emails a secure link so the applicant can submit personal information and sign the disclosure and authorization. The completed report is posted to the employer's portal. Dallas employers who also hire in Frisco, Plano, McKinney, or Allen can use the same account for those orders.
Dallas hiring situations this page is written for
A healthcare office in Dallas may need a criminal search, an OIG exclusion check, and employment verification for clinical and front-office roles. A logistics employer may need a motor vehicle report along with the criminal searches tied to the driver's address history. A hospitality employer may screen customer-facing staff with the same FCRA workflow used for every other role. A staffing firm may place several candidates in a day and needs the portal available 24/7, with packages set per client rather than one package for every job.
None of those examples changes the headquarters. SaffHire is headquartered in Frisco, TX. None of them limits service to Dallas. The same account screens applicants for employers nationwide. Local pages for Frisco, Plano, McKinney, and Allen give the same kind of context for those cities.
When you ask for a quote, describe the Dallas roles, the states on recent applications, and any client or regulatory requirement. SaffHire recommends a package from that description. Standard packages on the packages page are starting points. SaffHire does not publish prices. Contact SaffHire to request the quote, or start from the services overview if you want the full search list first.
Before a Dallas employer places the first order
Decide who will invite applicants, who will read reports, and which roles share a package. A driver package and a front-office package are built from different searches. Write down whether DOT drug testing, an OIG check, or an MVR belongs on the order. SaffHire will match those requirements to searches and will tell you which results wait on a court, a prior employer, or a school.
Read the FAQ for how screening works, the Texas background checks page for statewide rules, and staffing agency background checks if a staffing desk will place the orders. Call (888) 588-1733 or email info@saffhire.com if you would rather walk through the roles with the team.
