How Automated Background Checks Help Staffing Agencies Save Time

For staffing agencies, speed is revenue. Every hour spent chasing consent forms, manually entering candidate data, or waiting on disconnected screening vendors is an hour a placement is delayed. That's why high-volume firms are switching to automated background check services for employers.

At Intelifi, our Emerge™ platform was engineered specifically for staffing agencies and high-volume recruiters to solve the operational pain points legacy platforms ignore.

Here are 5 ways automation saves your team 10+ hours a week:

1. One-Click Ordering Inside Your ATS

Intelifi’s proprietary Emerge platform integrates natively with Bullhorn. Recruiting teams can trigger background checks, send candidate consent invites, and view completed, FCRA-compliant reports directly inside the Bullhorn interface without redundant data entry. No more spreadsheets, emails, or manual follow-ups — just centralized tracking.

2. Batch Processing for High-Volume Hiring

Staffing agencies placing dozens of contingent workers at once can upload a single spreadsheet template to trigger screening for an entire cohort. Automated ordering and results delivery cut turnaround time dramatically.

3. Faster Turnaround, From Days to Hours

Automated systems swiftly verify information, access databases, and compile reports, slashing the time needed to complete background checks from days or weeks to mere hours. With real-time database checks and automated workflows, you can onboard quicker.

4. Automated Compliance Filtering

Intelifi’s dual-layer review flags true criminal records while automatically scrubbing non-convictions older than 7 years and filtering out false-positive database matches. This reduces manual review time and keeps you FCRA-compliant.

5. Free Up Recruiters to Focus on Revenue

Automated screening reduces the need for manual intervention, which can be time-consuming and conducive to human error. With status visibility and automated adjudication, your team can focus on candidates and clients instead of admin.
