Precise Hire

Employment background checks with clarity and personal support

Visit Precise Hire

Precise Hire is a U.S.-based employment background screening provider founded in 2003 in McKinney, Texas, offering FCRA-aligned workflows for employers. It addresses the need for accurate, compliant candidate screening by verifying flagged records at the source courthouse, employer, or licensing board before they appear on a report, and by embedding FCRA pre-adverse and adverse-action sequences, EEOC individualized-assessment prompts, and state-specific rules into the workflow.

Services include criminal background checks, employment and education verification, drug and alcohol testing, driving record checks, and international screening. The platform integrates with ATS and HRIS systems such as Greenhouse, Workday, Lever, iCIMS, Bullhorn, JazzHR, BambooHR, ADP Workforce Now, UKG Pro, Paylocity, Avionté, and Salesforce, plus a documented REST API and webhooks. Compliance features cover FCRA sections, EEOC guidance, state and local overlays, data security controls, and a candidate portal with branded invitations and dispute handling.

Pricing is published per check across three packages—Essential, Professional, and Comprehensive—with no setup fees, contracts, or monthly minimums, and custom volume contracts for higher check volumes. Support is provided by a U.S.-based team.
