Why Tech Companies Choose ABS
The four biggest background screening pain points in IT and software — and how SMART Search® solves them.
Remote Hires Create Identity Risk
IT and software companies hire globally and remotely — making identity fraud a real risk. Our SSN trace and identity verification confirms who you're actually hiring before they access your systems.
Slow Screening Loses Top Talent
The best developers have multiple offers. A 5-day background check is a 5-day window for a competitor to close the deal. On average, our SMART Search® technology returns results in 3–24 hours.
Data Access Requires Verified Trust
IT staff often have privileged access to databases, source code, and client systems from day one. Accurate criminal and employment verification is your first line of defense against insider threats.
Resume Fraud is Rampant in Tech
Studies show that IT and software roles have among the highest rates of resume fraud — inflated credentials, fabricated employers, and falsified certifications. Our employment and education verification catches it before it costs you.
Screening Services for Tech Companies
Comprehensive background checks for developers, engineers, IT staff, and technology contractors.
Criminal Background Check
Multi-jurisdictional criminal history search — essential for developers, engineers, and IT staff with access to sensitive systems, client data, and proprietary code.
High Fraud RiskEmployment Verification
Confirm past employers, job titles, and dates of service. Catch resume fraud before a candidate gains access to your production environment or client infrastructure.
Education Verification
Verify degrees, certifications, and academic credentials. Particularly important for roles requiring specific technical degrees or professional certifications (CISSP, PMP, AWS).
Gov ContractsFederal Criminal Records
Search federal district court records — critical for IT contractors working with government agencies, defense contractors, or organizations subject to federal compliance mandates.
Credit Report
Financial background check for roles with access to financial systems, client payment data, or fiduciary responsibilities within your technology organization.
Remote HireSSN Trace & Identity Verification
Confirm candidate identity and uncover all names and addresses used — critical for remote IT hires where in-person identity verification is not possible.
