Accurate Background is an employment background screening and workforce compliance company. Its Accurate API (v3) lets HR platforms, ATS/HRIS vendors, and staffing tools embed background checks - criminal searches, SSN trace, employment and education verification, drug and health screening, driving records, identity/work authorization (Form I-9, E-Verify), and international screening - directly into their own applications. Integrators create candidates, order preset or custom screening packages, track order status and ETA, retrieve completed reports, adjudicate results, and receive status updates via webhooks. A free developer account and sandbox environment are available for testing; production access is provisioned under a screening services agreement.
