Frequently asked questions
Does this form include a credit or background check?
No — it collects the applicant's information and their consent for you to run one separately. Screening services are not part of this product.
Can I charge an application fee?
Most states allow it; some cap the amount or require it to reflect actual screening costs. Verify your state's rule before setting a fee.
