Built for Speed.
We believe hiring should be fast and fair.
North Star delivers background checks in minutes, so you never lose a candidate to delay.
Why We Obsess Over Speed
In our previous roles as hiring managers, we lost too many great candidates to the "background check black hole." Waiting 3, 5, or even 10 days for a simple report was unacceptable. It cost us talent, time, and money.
We founded North Star Screening with a single mission: to make background checks instant without sacrificing accuracy.
By rebuilding the screening infrastructure from the ground up—using direct digital integrations instead of fax machines and phone calls—we've cut the average turnaround time from days to just 8 hours.
Our Core Principles
Speed is Respect
Making a candidate wait days for a result is disrespectful to their time and career. We deliver answers immediately.
Accuracy Above All
Speed means nothing if the data is wrong. We combine AI automation with human verification to ensure 99.99% accuracy.
Candidates are Human
We treat every background check as a person's life and career, not just a data point. Our dispute process is fast and fair.
