Employment background screening platform offering criminal record checks, SSN traces, education verification, and drug testing for HR teams and SMBs requiring FCRA-compliant hiring due diligence.
In its favor
Why people choose Back Track Screening
The signal that keeps Back Track Screening on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
FCRA-compliant report delivery is positioned as a core commitment, giving employers a defensible audit trail for adverse action decisions across criminal, drug, and credit checks.
Customizable screening packages combine SSN trace, criminal (national/state/federal), education, drug, and credit checks into one workflow tailored to job role and risk profile.
Bundled offering beyond core checks — applicant tracking, DOT services, and fleet monitoring let employers and motor carriers consolidate hiring and compliance under one vendor.
Open API plus pre-built integrations with major ATS and HRIS platforms (and Yardi/AMSI for property managers) let customers automate ordering and result return without manual file exchange.
Dual-market focus — services target both employers and landlords, enabling property management firms to use the same vendor for tenant and staff background checks.
Pricing is not disclosed publicly — every prospect must contact sales for a quote, blocking side-by-side comparison with vendors like Checkr or Sterling that publish per-check rates.
Limited public review footprint compared to top-tier screening vendors makes vendor due diligence harder, especially for procurement teams that require third-party validation.
Smaller vendor scale than national providers may limit international coverage and specialty searches outside US jurisdictions.
Background check industry generally carries hidden fees (county search surcharges, rush processing, international add-ons) that are not visible until contract — Backtrack's quote-based model exposes the same risk.
Self-service portal capability appears limited compared to API-first competitors, with most ordering flowing through direct vendor contact or ATS integration rather than a standalone client portal.

What gets migrated
Back Track Screening object support
Object-by-object support for Back Track Screening migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Candidates
Fully supportedCandidates are the persons being screened, containing name, SSN, date of birth, contact information, and consent records. We migrate the full candidate profile including SSN (handled as a masked reference field), address history derived from the SSN trace, and FCRA-required disclosure acknowledgments.
Screening Orders
Fully supportedScreening orders bundle a candidate with a specific package of checks. Each order carries status (pending, in-progress, complete), timestamps, and a reference to the ordering employer. We preserve the order hierarchy and all status transitions during migration.
SSN Traces
Mapping requiredSSN trace output produces an address history for the candidate, which drives the county-level search scope. We preserve the raw trace result and the derived address list as a first-class object, noting which counties were selected for criminal coverage based on that history.
Criminal Records
Mapping requiredCriminal records are returned per jurisdiction (county, state, federal) and include charge details, disposition, and court references. We map each returned record to its jurisdiction and flag whether it was a direct match or a partial match based on name and DOB cross-reference.
Education Verifications
Mapping requiredEducation verification results include school name, degree, dates of attendance, and verification status. We preserve the source institution record and the verification call notes, mapping them to the destination system's degree and enrollment fields.
Employment Verifications
Mapping requiredEmployment verification results include employer name, title, dates of employment, salary (if disclosed), and reason for leaving. We preserve the raw employer response and map to the destination's work history fields, flagging salary as optional based on what the former employer released.
Drug Test Records
Mapping requiredDrug test records include test type (urine, hair, DOT), collection date, lab result (negative, positive, dilute), and MRO review status. We map the result and lab reference, noting whether it was a DOT-compliant or non-DOT test.
Credit Reports
Mapping requiredCredit reports returned for employment purposes include only the permissible inquiry elements under FCRA (typically bankruptcy and sometimes public records). We strip any non-permissible credit history fields and preserve only what is legally allowed for employment screening in the destination system.
Adverse Action Records
Fully supportedAdverse action documentation is compliance-critical under FCRA. It includes the pre-adverse action notice, the candidate's response window, and the final adverse action letter. We migrate these as sealed records with retention timestamps, ensuring the compliance chain is unbroken.
Custom Check Types
Mapping requiredBack Track Screening offers customized solutions beyond standard packages. Custom check types vary by client and may include industry-specific verifications or unusual search scopes. We treat each custom check as an additive module attached to the screening order, mapping its name, result format, and source to the destination.
