Plano employers hire for corporate, technology, healthcare, professional services, and staffing roles. Applicants may show address history in Collin County, in Dallas County, and in other states. SaffHire orders searches for the jurisdictions on that history. A Plano job title does not, by itself, decide which courthouses are searched.
SaffHire was founded by Robert Krebsbach, John Waak, and Jody Thigpen. The headquarters is Frisco, TX. Plano employers are clients of that nationwide service. They order criminal background checks, employment verification, education verification, drug screening, and motor vehicle records without a setup fee and without a minimum. The 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.
- Employment and education verification are common on professional and corporate roles. Timing depends on the prior employer or the school.
- County searches are added for the counties where the applicant lived, in Collin County, Dallas County, or elsewhere. Court access fees may apply and are passed through.
- Employers remain responsible for hiring decisions and legal compliance. SaffHire provides the FCRA disclosure and authorization workflow.

Searches Plano employers use for different roles
Corporate and professional roles in Plano often include employment verification and education verification along with a criminal search. Verification confirms dates, titles, degrees, diplomas, and attendance when the source responds. It does not replace the criminal search. Criminal background checks still include the national criminal database search and, when ordered, federal, state, and county searches.
National databases are aggregated and incomplete, so many employers add county searches. For a Plano applicant, those counties might include Collin County, Dallas County, and counties outside Texas. Sex Offender registry searches, Global Security Watch List searches, SSN traces, state database searches, National Criminal Database searches, and Motor Vehicle Reports usually return in minutes. County timing depends on the court.
Healthcare offices in Plano can add healthcare sanctions and OIG checks. Roles that involve driving add MVR checks. Drug screening is ordered in the portal and performed at Labcorp, including pre-employment and DOT-related options when the employer requests them. Staffing partners who support Plano clients should read staffing agency background checks, because a staffing package is often set per client rather than once for the whole agency.
Published averages for standard packages are on Standard Packages and Turnaround, from 1 day to 2-5 days depending on what the package contains. The FAQ explains how to read those ranges. The services overview is the full list if you are comparing searches before you request a quote.
Frisco, TX is the headquarters. Plano is a client market.
SaffHire is headquartered in Frisco, TX. Plano employers are part of the nationwide service area. When you name SaffHire's location, use Frisco, TX. The Frisco background screening page is the headquarters page. This Plano page explains how employers in Plano order the same services, including applicants whose history reaches Dallas or other states.
Texas employers, including Plano employers, can read Texas background checks for the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, public Texas DPS conviction and deferred adjudication records, and the reason county searches are paired with a statewide repository search. This is general information, not legal advice. Employers remain responsible for their own hiring decisions and legal compliance.
An employer in Plano enters the applicant's name and email in the portal. The applicant opens a secure link, enters personal information, and signs the FCRA disclosure and authorization. Results return to the employer's portal. The same account can be used for hires in Plano, in other Collin County cities such as McKinney and Allen, and for hires outside Texas.
Building a Plano screening package
A Plano professional-services firm may want employment verification, education verification, and county searches for every county on the address history. A Plano healthcare office may want those searches plus an OIG exclusion check. A Plano staffing desk may want a base package for light-industrial placements and a wider package for professional placements, both ordered from the same portal. A role that includes driving adds a motor vehicle report. SaffHire customizes those packages. Standard packages are the starting list, not a requirement to buy every search.
SaffHire does not publish prices. Request a custom quote with the roles, the states where applicants have lived or worked, and any client or regulatory requirement. Contact SaffHire or call (888) 588-1733. There are no setup fees and no minimums, so a Plano employer can start with the roles it is hiring now and add searches later when a new role needs them.
Keep the geography straight when you brief a colleague. The applicant might live in Plano, the job might be in Plano, and SaffHire's headquarters is Frisco, TX. The screening service still covers employers nationwide. County searches follow the applicant. They are not limited to the city on the job requisition, and they are not limited to the headquarters city.
What Plano employers usually send with a quote request
List the role families you hire: professional, healthcare, staffing placements, drivers, or operations. List the states that appear on applications. Say whether a client contract requires a county search, a drug screen, or an MVR. That is enough for SaffHire to recommend a package and to point you to the published turnaround ranges. If a search depends on a court, a school, or a prior employer, the quote conversation will say that.
Useful pages before that conversation: the FAQ, Texas background checks, staffing agency background checks, and Standard Packages and Turnaround. Email info@saffhire.com if you want the recommendation in writing.
