Start A Background Check Software

Background check software enables organizations to check and verify the information provided by potential employees or customers. The background software verifies various data sets, including the subject's education history, past employment, criminal records, and financial and other records.

Organizations would want to thoroughly scrutinize the persons they transact with and those they entrust with their daily operations. Therefore, the demand for background check software presents a potential business opportunity for programmers.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a background check software:

1. Safe Hiring Solutions ($6M/year)

As a former violent crime detective, he understood the need for a background screening product that would flag offenders, leading him to launch Safe Hiring Solutions, which now has over 7,000 clients and is one of the fastest-growing background check software businesses.
