TazWorks Software

TazWorks Software is a screening suite for professional background screeners, screening agencies, and consumer reporting agencies. It provides applications, workflow management, and reporting for full-service screening operations, with listed coverage for criminal records, identity, employment, education, and driving history. The software runs on TazCloud, a public-cloud network described as scalable for agencies of any size and accessible through an open API. Users can select integrated data providers and customize search filters. Candidate applications and disclosures can be tailored and sent by email or SMS, and mobile-enabled apps support candidate messaging. TazWorkload Manager assigns searches by type and jurisdiction, sets service level agreements, and distributes work among processors. TazInsights provides reports and dashboards for profitability and performance analysis. The product integrates with HR and property management systems; named connections include iCIMS, Greenhouse, PageUp, Bullhorn, Jobvite, NeoGov, and BambooHR. TazAPI Advanced uses JSON, while TazAPI Basic uses XML. The vendor states that the software is SOC 2 Type 2 and PCI DSS compliant. Pricing is available by contacting TazWorks.
