What is an Instant Clear?
Glad you asked! A “clear” happens when a background check performed on a candidate does not return any criminal history results in the specified jurisdiction of the search. That means you can hire the candidates you want faster instead of waiting around like you might be used to.Why Don’t All States Have Instant Clears?
Generally, courts vary state to state, county to county, etc. Many don’t use electronic case management systems meaning that when information is requested for a candidate, the records will need to be physically collected and then returned to Asurint for processing. That’s right, a person literally runs out to the courts to request paperwork from another person who has to collect the proper records. That’s a lot of work and the reason turnaround times can be so laborious.We’re working hard every day with the court systems so that you can rest assured that the background screens on your candidates are not only faster and more efficient; but are also more accurate and complete than ever before.
