Why it matters

The People You Hire Have Access to Everything That Makes Your Company Valuable.

Technology companies face a hiring risk profile that most industries never have to think about. Your engineers have access to proprietary codebases, your sales team carries client data, your IT staff can see everything on your network, and your product managers know your roadmap before your competitors do.

A single bad hire can mean stolen intellectual property, a data breach that triggers regulatory investigation, a client relationship destroyed by a breach of confidentiality, or a toxic team dynamic that costs you three more employees on the way out.

And because technology hiring moves faster than almost any other sector, with competitive offer timelines measured in days rather than weeks, the pressure to skip or rush screening is constant. The companies that pay the price for that pressure are rarely the ones that felt it.

At 3rd Degree Screening, we help technology companies:

Screen engineers, product, sales, and operations staff under one consistent compliant workflow
Catch criminal history, fraud, and financial crime flags before they reach your codebase or your clients
Verify education and employment history for technical and leadership roles where credentials matter
Run credit checks for roles with access to client financial data or company finances
Move fast enough to keep up with competitive offer timelines without cutting corners

Why Choose Us

Why Technology Companies Choose 3rd Degree Screening

Education and employment verification for roles where credentials matter

In technology hiring, resume inflation is common and the consequences of hiring someone whose credentials don't hold up can range from embarrassing to catastrophic depending on the role. We verify degrees, employment dates, and titles directly with institutions and prior employers so you're not relying on self-reported history.

Credit checks for finance and senior leadership roles

Executives, controllers, and anyone with access to company finances or client payment data warrant an employment credit check. We apply them to the right roles with proper FCRA disclosure and consent built in.

Fast enough for competitive offer timelines

Technology candidates routinely hold multiple offers simultaneously. A screening process that takes a week hands your competitors an advantage. We turn around the majority of reports within 36 hours so your offers don't expire in a queue.

Contractor and vendor screening for data-sensitive environments

Third-party contractors, consultants, and vendors with access to your codebase, your infrastructure, or your client data carry the same risk profile as your direct employees. We make it straightforward to screen them under the same standards without creating a separate process.

Consistent screening across remote and distributed teams

Technology companies hire across states and countries. Our platform handles multi-jurisdiction screening consistently so your process doesn't vary based on where a candidate happens to be located.

No setup fees, monthly minimums, or term commitments

Whether you're an early-stage startup or a scaling enterprise, you pay only for the checks you run.
