TazWorks Software

Overview

TazWorks is a cloud-based screening suite built for background-screening agencies and consumer reporting agencies. It suits professional operations that need configurable candidate intake, workload routing, and reporting in one system. Its strongest case is operational breadth; custom pricing and weekday-only support make it a less straightforward fit for smaller teams or organizations that need weekend assistance.

Key features

TazCloud hosts screening applications, management, and reporting in a public cloud intended to scale across agencies of different sizes. Customers can select integrated data providers and tailor search filters, helping align checks with their workflows and control the searches they run. That flexibility is useful to agencies with distinct service needs, though choosing providers and filters is part of getting the setup right.

Candidate applications and disclosures can be customized and delivered by email or SMS, with mobile-enabled apps supporting candidate messaging. TazWorks says 90% of candidates who begin an application complete it; treat that as the vendor’s stated figure, not a promised result for every operation. The system supports criminal-record, identity, employment, education, and driving-history checks.

TazWorkload Manager routes searches by type and jurisdiction, lets agencies set service-level agreements, and distributes work among processors. That combination is particularly relevant to agencies managing varied queues and turnaround targets. TazInsights adds preconfigured reports and dashboards for profitability and performance, giving managers a way to review both business results and operational measures.

TazWorks integrates with HR and property-management systems, including iCIMS, Greenhouse, PageUp, Bullhorn, Jobvite, NeoGov, and BambooHR. TazAPI provides another integration route: its Advanced version uses JSON, while Basic uses XML. The vendor states that its screening tools meet SOC 2 Type 2 and PCI DSS requirements. Support includes live and self-service options, walkthroughs, webinar recordings, and software updates; TazHelp adds in-product walkthroughs and a knowledge base. Live support hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, with weekends closed.

Pricing

TazWorks Software: custom pricing; contact TazWorks for details. There is no published software price, so agencies cannot compare the cost against their volume or budget before contacting the vendor. No public plan tiers, seat limits, usage quotas, trial, or renewal terms are stated. The choice is therefore best made by agencies prepared to discuss their requirements directly, rather than buyers seeking transparent self-serve pricing.

Platforms

TazWorks supports Android, iOS, web, and API access. That range covers mobile engagement as well as browser-based use and system integrations.

Who it's for

This is aimed squarely at background-screening professionals and consumer reporting agencies, especially full-service agencies that need to coordinate candidate intake, diverse searches, processor workloads, and business reporting. It is not a general-purpose consumer background-check app.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Configurable provider selection and search filters let agencies shape checks around their workflows.
• Pros: Search routing, service-level agreements, and processor distribution address real queue-management needs.
• Pros: Candidate communications, reporting, and HR and property-management integrations broaden its usefulness beyond ordering searches.
• Cons: Custom pricing requires a vendor conversation before buyers can assess affordability.
• Cons: Live support is limited to weekday office hours and is closed on weekends.
