IntelliCorp

IntelliCorp is a business-to-business background-screening service for employers and other organizations. It suits teams screening different candidate groups or processing large volumes, but is a poor fit for individuals who need a service they can buy directly.

Its range of checks and operational tools is a strength; custom pricing and eligibility requirements mean buyers should confirm the cost and onboarding terms before committing.

Overview

IntelliCorp covers criminal records, identity and address history, employment and education verification, driving records, drug screening, civil and credit searches, medical screening, and international searches. Requests and results can move through its website, XGS Integration, batching, or custom portals. Standard turnaround is 3–5 business days, although timing can vary with factors outside the company’s control.

IntelliCorp identifies as a Consumer Reporting Agency and says it monitors applicable laws and provides compliance training and support. It is accredited through the Professional Background Screening Association’s Background Screening Agency Accreditation Program. The company also describes SOC 2 compliance as central to customer security and privacy, with client credentialing and audits of clients’ use of collected information among its policies.

Key features

Search coverage and testing

Criminal searches include multi-state database, county, statewide, federal, nationwide sex-offender, and Department of Corrections options. Drug screening includes lab-based urine and saliva tests and random programs; urine panels can be tailored to employer requirements. This breadth can consolidate varied screening needs with one provider, though teams should confirm which searches fit their policies and budget.

Candidate and batch workflows

The secure Candidate Direct Portal lets candidates submit required personal information; a separate Volunteer Portal supports volunteer screening. Self-Service Batching lets clients upload subject information from a template, correct errors, review estimated cost, and submit groups for processing. That combination is useful for high-volume or recurring programs, while smaller organizations may have less need for batch tools.

Hiring systems and I-9

Applicant-tracking integrations include ClearCompany, Joynd, Greenhouse, iCIMS, SmartRecruiters, and VolunteerMatters. The I-9 and E-Verify system lets employers create, manage, and store I-9 forms electronically and submit them to E-Verify from one central location. These options are most relevant to employers seeking to connect screening with hiring administration.

Specialized packages

Healthcare packages can include Medicare and Medicaid sanctions searches, FACIS Level 3 medical fraud and abuse searches, and medical license verification. Tenant packages can cover rental and financial history, criminal records, and personal references. The distinct packages make IntelliCorp relevant beyond standard employee checks, but the right scope depends on the organization’s screening requirements.

Pricing

IntelliCorp is paid, with custom pricing. The Standard (Good) package includes SSN verification with address history, a government sanctions search including OFAC, a validated criminal database, nationwide sex-offender search, and Department of Corrections search. It is the narrower starting package for organizations focused on identity, sanctions, and core criminal checks.

Enhanced (Better) includes Standard searches, unlimited single-county searches with unlimited address history, arrest records, federal criminal records, and one employment verification. It fits employers who need broader criminal coverage and an employment check. Premium (Best) includes package searches and two employment verifications, making it the package with the most employment verifications among these tiers; it gives up the specifically stated Enhanced additions such as unlimited county searches and federal criminal records. Ask IntelliCorp to confirm the precise package scope and price for the checks you need.

New clients generally do not need to sign a contract for system access, but a service agreement is required. Some products, including credit and motor vehicle reports, require contracts. A valid business license and taxpayer ID document are required to establish a legitimate business, so individual buyers cannot treat this as a direct-to-consumer service.

Platforms

IntelliCorp is available on the web. Its web-based portals, batching, and named applicant-tracking integrations provide several ways to submit and manage screening activity, though the platform list does not include mobile apps.

Who it's for

Employers screening candidates across multiple categories, volunteer organizations, healthcare providers, and property owners or managers are the clearest fits. Large organizations can benefit from batch submission, while hiring teams may value ATS connections and the centralized I-9 and E-Verify workflow. Individuals looking for a personal background check should choose a different service because IntelliCorp requires business credentials.

Phone and chat customer support run Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Complimentary live and self-paced training can help client teams adopt the workflows.

Pros and cons

• Broad screening menu: Criminal, identity, employment, education, driving, drug, medical, civil, credit, and international checks can serve varied organizational programs.
• Tools for different volumes: Candidate and Volunteer Portals support individual submissions, while self-service batching handles group uploads and lets clients review estimated cost before submission.
• Specialized coverage: Healthcare and tenant packages address screening needs beyond conventional employee checks.
• Custom pricing and business qualification: No posted rates and the requirement for a business license and taxpayer ID make cost comparison and access less straightforward for small or individual buyers.
• Product-specific contract terms: Credit and motor vehicle reports require contracts, which can add onboarding steps for organizations needing those checks.

Alternatives

Compare background check software if you want to weigh providers across the category. TazWorks Software is another paid option with Android, iOS, API, and web platforms; its software pricing is by contact, so it may suit buyers who want broader platform coverage but still expect to request a quote. SpringVerify is a paid alternative with Android, iOS, API, and web platforms.

Certn Tenant Screening is worth considering when tenant screening and published per-check prices matter: its Identity Verification is £3, paid once and Digital Right to Work Check is £6, paid once, with a one-day turnaround for the latter. Neotas offers paid API and web access with custom quotes based on service, search depth, and monthly volume, making it another quote-led option.

Universal Background Screening is a paid web-based alternative. Accurate Background offers API and web access; its Basic Package is $155, paid once and includes police check and identity verification, identity verification, reference check, and employment history verification, so it may suit buyers seeking a package with a published price. BuildSafe has API and web platforms and a free plan, with paid contractor-investigation options including Scouts Contractor Investigation™ at $79, paid once. ClearStar is a paid option across Android, iOS, API, and web, with a Standard package that includes a National Criminal Database search, the first three county court criminal record checks (pass-through fees apply), and one education verification.

Verdict

Choose IntelliCorp if your organization needs several kinds of employee, volunteer, healthcare, or tenant screening, especially when portals, batching, or hiring-system integrations matter. Its main advantage is the breadth of checks and workflows under one provider; its main drawback is that custom pricing, business qualification, and some contract requirements make it less accessible and predictable than a straightforward self-serve service.
