Getting a background check quote should feel like a conversation, not a form that disappears into a queue. Tell us how you hire — your roles, your volume, the rules you answer to — and we'll build a quote around exactly what you need. At NCS Workforce, you're the priority. When you reach out, you'll quickly reach a live person in our office — not a bot, not a phone tree, not a ticket. We pair powerful technology with real human support, because behind every great hire there should be people who care.
We've spent 20+ years running full-service background screening for more than 20,000 customers nationwide, and we'd rather understand how you actually hire than push you toward a one-size-fits-all sticker. Let's build the plan you need.

Tell Us How You Hire
The best quote starts with a few simple questions about your hiring. The more we know, the more precisely we can size your screening — no padding, nothing you won't use.
- What roles are you screening? Different roles carry different risk, and the right searches follow the role.
- How often do you hire? A few times a year looks different from a steady pipeline of placements.
- What's your volume? Whether it's a handful of checks or hundreds, we'll size a quote that fits.
- What rules do you answer to? Industry regulations like FMCSA, healthcare exclusion requirements, or state and local laws shape the screening you need.
Not sure how to answer some of these? That's fine — that's exactly what we're here to help you figure out. We make it easy.
We'll Build the Plan You Need
Once we understand how you hire, we'll match you to the right plan and the right searches. NCS Workforce comes in three plans, so the quote fits your hiring instead of the other way around.
- NCS Lite — criminal background checks only. Simple and fast, built for smaller or occasional hirers who just need a reliable check.
- NCS Workforce Pro — à la carte. Build the plan you need by adding the workforce capabilities you want: continuous criminal monitoring, the Hailey AI assistant, electronic authorization, smart forms, dashboards and analytics, and review and approval workflows.
- NCS Workforce Platinum — everything Pro offers, fully included, plus enterprise capabilities like organization hierarchy and waterfall permissions and advanced Hailey. Built for larger or multi-location organizations.
Not sure which plan fits? That's exactly the kind of thing we'd rather talk through than make you guess at. See the full breakdown on our pricing page.
You'll Talk to a Real Person
This is the part that sets us apart. A lot of screening vendors hide behind a quote form and a chat window. We don't.
- A live person, fast. Call us and you'll quickly reach a real person in our office — by phone, chat, or email.
- Someone who knows screening. With 20+ years of NCS expertise behind us, the person you reach can actually help you sort out what you need.
- No runaround. No phone tree, no ticket queue, no being routed in circles. We answer the phone because you're the priority.
- A relationship, not a transaction. Companies thrive when they're supported by real people who care.
Prefer to start with a question? Hailey, your AI HR assistant, can help you understand packages and searches right inside your command center — with our team always a call away.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a background check quote?
Just reach out — call us at (479) 695-2111, email support@nationalcrimesearch.com, or send a few details through our contact page. Tell us your roles, how often you hire, and your volume, and we'll build a quote around exactly what you need.
Why don't you publish prices online?
Because the right screening depends on how you hire — your roles, your volume, and the rules you answer to. Rather than push you toward a one-size-fits-all sticker, we'd rather have a short conversation and build a quote that actually fits. Our criminal and employment screening packages do have clear prices; see the pricing page for those.

Yes. When you call, you'll quickly reach a live person in our office — not a bot or a phone tree. That's the whole point. With 20+ years of NCS expertise behind us, the person you reach can genuinely help you figure out what you need.

What information should I have ready?
It helps to know the roles you're screening, how often you hire, your rough volume, and any industry or state rules you answer to. But don't worry if you're unsure — helping you figure that out is part of what we do.
