Why it matters

Every Guest Who Checks In Is Trusting You With Their Safety.

Hospitality businesses operate on a foundation of trust. Guests hand over their credit cards, sleep in rooms cleaned by your staff, leave their valuables in spaces your employees have access to, and expect the people representing your brand to be exactly who they appear to be.

That trust is fragile. One theft incident, one assault, one employee with a violent criminal history who should never have been hired can result in a lawsuit, a brand crisis, and the kind of online reputation damage that takes years to overcome. And in an industry where turnover routinely exceeds 70%, the pressure to fill open roles quickly creates a constant temptation to cut corners on screening.

At 3rd Degree Screening, we help hospitality businesses:

Screen front desk, housekeeping, food service, security, and management staff under one consistent compliant workflow
Catch criminal history, theft, and fraud flags before they reach your guests or your property
Run motor vehicle record checks for shuttle drivers, valet staff, and anyone operating guest vehicles
Verify employment history for supervisory and management hires
Handle the volume and pace of hospitality hiring without sacrificing screening standards

Why Choose Us

Why Hospitality Businesses Choose 3rd Degree Screening

Screening built for high-turnover hiring environments

Hospitality turnover is relentless. Our platform is designed to move at the pace your hiring demands, turning around the majority of reports within 36 hours so open roles get filled without compromising your guest experience.

Room access and theft risk taken seriously

Housekeeping and facilities staff have unsupervised access to guest rooms, valuables, and personal property. A thorough criminal history check isn't optional for these roles, and we treat it that way.

MVR checks for every driver and valet role

Anyone operating a guest vehicle, a hotel shuttle, or a parking structure needs a motor vehicle record check. We build that into every transportation package automatically.

Credit checks for management and finance roles

General managers, controllers, and staff handling cash or financial transactions warrant an employment credit check as part of a complete due diligence package.

Consistent standards across properties

For hotel groups and multi-property operators, we configure role-based screening packages that apply consistently across every location so your brand standard doesn't vary by property.

No setup fees, monthly minimums, or term commitments

Whether you run a single boutique hotel or a regional portfolio, you pay only for the checks you run.
