Smart Screen™ is designed to help address several persistent challenges in the background screening industry, including high court fees, slow turnaround times, data redaction, and complex workflows. It is the first solution of its kind to deliver an instant consumer report response, significantly enhancing the efficiency and reliability of criminal background checks.

"Our collaboration with ClearStar is instrumental in bringing a truly groundbreaking solution like Smart Screen™ to market," said Bart Lautenbach, GM of Talent Solutions at Equifax. "This innovative offering, powered by the Equifax TotalVerify® data hub, enables more rapid and reliable background checks, revolutionizing how employers conduct background checks."

"With unparalleled capabilities from Equifax and our dedication to excellence in human resources technology, we are delivering a groundbreaking solution that helps redefine how employers conduct criminal background checks."

By leveraging a vast network of U.S. incarceration and sex offender registry data - comprising over 185 million records from more than 1,900 county jails and over 30 state prison systems, with updates occurring as frequently as every 15 minutes - Smart Screen™ provides a more comprehensive data coverage solution. This robust infrastructure enables employers to help make faster, more informed hiring decisions, particularly in scenarios where immediate or contingent hiring is necessary due to seasonal demand, business expansion, or competitive labor markets.

The solution also supports CRAs by helping streamline their operations. It enables them to more quickly identify candidates with no incarceration or sex offender records, thereby reducing the need for additional research and manual processing. This not only helps accelerate the time-to-hire but also can help lower operational costs and improve overall workflow efficiency.

Smart Screen™ is particularly well-suited for industries that require rapid hiring cycles, such as retail, technology, healthcare, and manufacturing. Its ability to deliver more accurate and timely background information makes it an invaluable tool for organizations seeking to maintain regulatory requirements while better optimizing their hiring processes.
