Problem
Contractors often need to undergo multiple background checks to meet the requirements of different clients, leading to redundant costs and administrative overhead. Traditional background checks are only valid at the time they are issued, requiring contractors to repeat the process periodically.
Solution
ShieldHub offers a digital background check and identity management platform designed for contractors, providing a continuously updated risk assessment called a ShieldScore™. This platform allows contractors to share their ShieldScore with multiple clients and partners, eliminating the need for repeated background checks. The ShieldScore is derived from a Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA) adjudicated report, using proprietary standardization algorithms to communicate safety while keeping the details of the background check report private. Clients can verify a contractor's ShieldScore through the ShieldID™ network, ensuring they meet eligibility requirements for work.
Target Audience
The primary target audience is independent contractors and vendors who are required to undergo background checks to meet client requirements.
