We have only one company that does background checks in our area. They were closed for a number of weeks, which made it impossible for me to get several new staff hired. I was in a desperate situation with staffing and was only able to get one person hired. My other applicants did not wait for the fingerprint locations to re-open. We need better access to more sites for this. Also when working on out of state background checks the directions/instructions were difficult to understand, and it was not clear which type of background check new staff from another state needed. After much back and forth with licensing I finally was able to obtain what I needed. This process needs to be easier and take less time.
