The old way
The ClearStar way
How it works
A simple route from setup to steady output.
The applicant enters their own information and signs consent from a phone or tablet, so you start with clean data and no paper.
SmartScreen and ClearStar's verification network search incarceration records, sex offender registries, employment history, education, and licenses without manual searches.
FCRA-governed reports land directly in your ATS or HRIS in seconds for criminal checks, keeping hiring decisions moving.
