Insperity Ends Background Check Services: Why PBSA Accreditation Is Critical for Your Next Provider

As of September 30, 2025, Insperity will no longer offer background check services, leaving businesses scrambling to find a reliable alternative. This shift is a critical moment for companies that depend on thorough, compliant, and efficient screening processes to hire with confidence. To avoid disruptions and maintain trust in your hiring process, partnering with a Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA)-accredited provider is non-negotiable. Here’s why this matters and how it impacts your business moving forward.

Insperity’s Exit from Background Checks: What It Means for You

Insperity’s decision to discontinue background check services marks a significant change for its clients. Background checks are a cornerstone of safe and informed hiring, ensuring candidates meet your standards for trustworthiness and qualifications. With this service ending, businesses must act quickly to transition to a new provider to avoid gaps in their hiring workflows.

Failing to secure a dependable screening partner could lead to:

• Hiring Delays: Without a streamlined process, onboarding new employees slows down, impacting productivity.
• Compliance Risks: Non-compliant screenings can expose your business to legal liabilities under laws like the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
• Reputational Damage: Inaccurate or incomplete checks may result in hiring unfit candidates, risking workplace safety and brand integrity.

To navigate this transition smoothly, choosing a PBSA-accredited provider is the smartest move you can make.

Why PBSA Accreditation Is a Must for Your Background Check Provider

The Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA) sets the gold standard for background screening providers. Accreditation ensures that a company adheres to rigorous standards of accuracy, compliance, and ethical practices. Here’s why partnering with a PBSA-accredited provider is essential after Insperity’s exit:

1. Uncompromising Compliance with FCRA and Industry Regulations

PBSA-accredited firms are experts in navigating complex regulations like the FCRA, which governs how background checks must be conducted. They ensure:

• Proper candidate consent and disclosure processes.
• Accurate reporting to avoid errors that could lead to lawsuits.
• Timely dispute resolution to protect both your business and candidates.

Non-accredited providers may lack the expertise to maintain compliance, exposing your business to costly legal risks.

2. High Standards of Accuracy and Reliability

PBSA accreditation requires providers to follow strict protocols for data verification, ensuring the information you receive is correct and up-to-date. This minimizes the risk of false positives or negatives, helping you make informed hiring decisions without delays or missteps.

3. Commitment to Ethical Practices

Accredited providers adhere to a code of conduct that prioritizes fairness, transparency, and respect for candidate privacy. This ethical foundation builds trust with both your business and the candidates you screen, safeguarding your reputation.

4. Industry-Leading Expertise and Resources

PBSA-accredited companies stay ahead of industry trends, legal updates, and technological advancements. Their access to cutting-edge tools and training ensures faster, more efficient screenings tailored to your specific needs, whether you’re in healthcare, finance, or retail.
