OPEN TALK: The Need for a Background Check API

Background checks are often misunderstood and considered complex. In this session we will review how Accurate Background set out to change that perception and saw a need to create a simple, RESTful API in an industry that has historically relied on archaic system integrations. With the surge of the “sharing” or “on-demand” economy, largely built on trust between the app and the consumer, companies required the ability to connect to background checks more easily and faster than ever. Whether it is an organization focused on hiring or the sharing economy, companies rely heavily on building trust between their brand and their customer. Background checks aid in that effort to mitigate risk.
