Reduce Risks with Accurate, Compliant Background Checks

Through a combination of technology and expert personal service, Abso quickly and affordably delivers the criminal records, identity, health, and employee drug testing you need to make informed decisions and reduce workplace risk. Plus, Abso Screening EditionTM enables human resources to streamline the hiring process with integrated tools that make ordering background checks and tracking applicant data fast and easy.

Know who you are hiring before you expose your company to risk. Abso provides over 300 background check options including:
