IntelliCorp vs Xref Engage

IntelliCorp provides background screening services for businesses and organizations hiring employees or volunteers. Its screening menu includes criminal records, civil and credit searches, driving records, drug and medical screening, international searches, and Social Security number and address history. Criminal options range from county, statewide and federal searches to multi-state databases, sex-offender searches and Department of Corrections records. Healthcare packages can include sanctions, medical fraud and abuse searches, and medical license verification; tenant packages can cover rental and financial history, criminal records and references. Employers can create and store I-9 forms electronically and submit them to E-Verify from one central location. Candidate and volunteer portals, self-service batching and applicant-tracking integrations support different request workflows. IntelliCorp identifies itself as a Consumer Reporting Agency and says it monitors applicable laws and provides compliance support. It states that it is SOC 2-certified and accredited through the Professional Background Screening Association. Standard background checks are listed as taking 3–5 business days, though timing can vary. Pricing is on request; the service is web-based and business-to-business, and establishing a legitimate business requires a business license and taxpayer ID document.
