Our third-party vendor uses a national criminal database ("NCD") to screen service professionals. We use a third-party vendor to conduct a criminal records search in the state in which the business owner or principal works.

As always, we recommend that you conduct your own research on the businesses you hire, including making inquiries directly with the businesses regarding their employee background check policies. Unfortunately, we cannot perform a background check on every employee of a business-the background checks are performed only on the owner or principal. The owner or principal of each business in HomeAdvisor's network (with the exception of Corporate Accounts) must pass a background check.
