Hospitality Background Screening FAQ
What background checks do hotels and restaurants usually run?
Many hospitality employers start with the National Criminal Database search, which includes an SSN Trace, Sex Offender registry search, Global Security Watch List and the national database search, and usually returns in minutes. Roles with guest-room access, cash handling or driving often add County searches, verifications or an MVR.
How quickly can we fill seasonal or high-turnover roles?
Instant searches (SSN Trace, Sex Offender, Global Security Watch List, National Criminal Database, state database and MVR) usually return in minutes. Standard Packages 1-3 average 1 day, Package 4 averages 1-2 days, and Packages 5 and 6 average 2-5 days. County searches and verifications depend on courts, employers and schools, so individual results can vary.
Do you offer drug testing for hospitality employers?
Yes. SaffHire offers pre-employment drug testing. Drug screens are ordered through the SaffHire portal, performed at Labcorp facilities, and results are delivered through the portal. Instant result options are available.
Do we need the applicant's permission to run a background check?
Yes. Under the FCRA, an employer must give the applicant a clear written disclosure, in a document that consists solely of the disclosure, and get written authorization before ordering a background check. SaffHire's applicant invitation workflow collects the disclosure acknowledgment and authorization electronically.
Is there a setup fee or a minimum?
No. SaffHire has no setup fees and no minimums.
