VeriScreen

VeriScreen provides background screening for employers, housing providers, and organizations evaluating applicants, tenants, or volunteers. Its company history says it began more than 25 years ago in Evansville, when founder Mark saw local businesses struggling to obtain reliable checks. An early partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America also shaped a line of work that continues to include community organizations.

Employment checks can cover criminal records, education, prior employment, certifications, and licenses. The company lists national, state, and county-level searches and describes a network of courthouse researchers. Its website cites an average 48-hour turnaround for criminal searches, a company-reported benchmark that may vary with the type of search and availability of information.

Identity matching is another part of the process. VeriScreen says it cross-references names and variations in names or dates of birth against person-search databases and other sources before submitting results to criminal-record systems. The company presents this method as a way to reduce identification errors and advertises a no-false-positive guarantee; service scope depends on its terms and the type of search ordered.

The offering also covers tenant screening and volunteer organizations, including health groups, youth organizations, and community-support programs. The company groups tools for hiring, housing, and volunteer management, with workflows for different clients and an integrations portal for connecting screening processes.

Additional services include drug testing across several panel types, DOT and hair-follicle testing; fingerprinting on approved cards; business credit reports; driving-record checks; and searches related to workers’ compensation, eviction records, and homeland security. VeriSafe provides continuous monitoring alerts for arrests, bookings, and health-care sanctions, while VeriStart is presented as an accelerated onboarding tool.

The company’s history also highlights its relationship with Holly’s House, an advocacy center for victims of crime and abuse, and staff participation in local philanthropic work. That community connection sits alongside the firm’s commercial purpose: helping organizations manage identity and background checks for employment, housing, and volunteer decisions.

With offices in Evansville and phone support advertised around the clock, VeriScreen serves clients in fields ranging from affordable housing and health care to small businesses and nonprofits. Before ordering a report, an organization needs to identify which check it requires and the context in which it will be used, because screening content changes with the role, relationship, and applicable rules.
