HiringThing, a key player in white-label applicant tracking systems (ATS), just made life easier for HR tech providers and hiring teams by integrating with National Crime Search (NCS), a PBSA-accredited, FCRA-compliant background screening provider. The new partnership adds a critical layer of risk management and compliance to HiringThing’s growing platform—without forcing users to leave their ATS.
This integration means HiringThing’s partners and their clients can now initiate and manage background checks and drug screening seamlessly within their branded hiring software. The move gives a serious upgrade to the platform’s end-to-end recruiting workflow and is a clear signal that HiringThing is all-in on building a complete hiring tech ecosystem for its white-label partners.
Background Checks, Built In
The embedded NCS functionality brings several high-value capabilities right into the HiringThing interface:
-
Initiate criminal background checks and drug tests directly from candidate profiles
-
Stay compliant with FCRA and EEOC regulations via pre-configured workflows
-
Accelerate time-to-hire with quick turnaround times and reduced manual steps
-
Deliver a smoother, more cohesive candidate experience
For HR tech platforms that license HiringThing’s ATS, the integration becomes a turnkey enhancement—adding enterprise-grade background screening without the usual development overhead.
“Our partnership with National Crime Search reinforces our mission to provide customizable hiring tech that grows with our partners,” said Colette Luke, VP of Product at HiringThing. “We’re not just adding features—we’re embedding best-in-class functionality that makes hiring easier, faster, and safer.”
A Win for HR Tech Providers
This integration isn’t just a feature update—it’s a strategic move that helps HiringThing’s white-label clients better compete in a crowded HR tech market. By offering embedded, compliant background screening through a trusted provider like NCS, these platforms can differentiate themselves with an all-in-one hiring suite that minimizes friction and supports better decision-making.
“Together, we’re helping employers reduce hiring risk, improve compliance, and build strong, trustworthy teams,” said Travis Fink, President of National Crime Search. “What sets us apart is the dedicated, human-first support behind the technology—and we’re excited to bring that to HiringThing’s customers.”
Built for Growth
HiringThing’s flexible, API-first architecture made the NCS integration possible—and it’s the same architecture that’s fueling the company’s rapid partner expansion. The platform is purpose-built to be white-labeled, making it an ideal choice for workforce solution providers, PEOs, and staffing platforms looking to own the entire hiring experience under their own brand.
This latest update adds to HiringThing’s value proposition as a full-spectrum recruiting engine: applicant tracking, workflow automation, and now, risk management—all in one customizable package.
As competition for talent intensifies and compliance scrutiny grows, embedded background checks may soon go from “nice to have” to “must have.” HiringThing and NCS are betting on it.
