Inquest is committed to exceeding pre employment screening industry standards, especially in regards to turnaround times. We average 28 hour turnaround time on county-level criminal searches. In other words, when our clients request criminal background checks, they typically get results the next day. To speed up the process even more, Inquest’s clients have the option to receive results in real-time via email, without having to log-in to our Online System.




Many other screening companies rely on nationwide and/or regional wholesalers to create a network of local court researchers. These companies send background requests to the wholesaler(s), who then send the background request to one of their local court researchers. Applicant information must pass through multiple organizations before and after the court research is completed. While this strategy helps to keep costs down and decreases the need for supply chain management, it also decreases the privacy, speed, and accuracy of the screening process.

On the other hand, Inquest provides Accurate Results to our clients very rapidly because we work directly with the county courts and local court researchers. Inquest does not rely on outdated and inaccurate aggregated databases or regional/nationwide wholesalers. We manage our own network of local court researchers, and have a strict quality assurance plan in place to ensure that we are providing accurate and comprehensive research results.
