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.
