Multi-Unit Auto Retail Firm

Director
Universal is extremely customer service oriented, so they truly adapt to our preference of email and notifications. However, if I email to have someone give me a call, they respond immediately. Their communication is fabulous!

Medical Staffing

Director
I have worked with a half dozen background check companies over the past 10 years. My hands down favorite is Universal Background. Their customer service and their ability to adapt and accommodate needs is unmatched by other vendors.

University System

I have worked with the amazing team at Universal Background for several years, and I can always count on through background screenings, fair pricing, and FANTASTIC customer support. I never have to worry if my agencies are being taken care of—I know they are in great hands!

Healthcare System

Director
The integration of Universal Background Screening has provided the final piece that makes our service the full package. Now I can easily submit my background requests with the click of a button and have the results within a matter of days. I receive notifications when the process is complete, and don't have the hassle of moving between multiple websites. It's been a time saver, and any business owner can tell you that's worth its weight in gold.
