KarmaCheck vs TazWorks Software

KarmaCheck provides background checks, screenings, and credentialing services for staffing organizations, including healthcare, professional, and IT/tech staffing. Its screening options cover criminal and watchlist searches, drug tests, occupational health, identity and license checks, education and employment verification, and motor vehicle records. Advanced identity verification can compare a live selfie with a government-issued ID and detect fake IDs and photos. AI agents help check credential requirements, process documents, and request candidate documents by text, email, or phone. Candidates can use the KarmaCheck app to view background-check status, while organizations can reuse screenings through KarmaCheck Wallet, which the company says never expire. KarmaCheck offers web and API access and says it connects with most ATS, HRIS, and VMS platforms, as well as homegrown systems; dedicated integration pages cover Bullhorn, symplr CTM, and Workday. Pricing is on request. Turnaround time is not guaranteed and can depend on data-source availability; third-party passthrough fees may change without notice and are listed separately on invoices.
