For companies, it can significantly reduce there per hire cost, since the background screening costs are shifted to the applicant. However, the applicants like it, because it gives them an edge over other non-certified resume/backgrounds. For those with clear backgrounds, it provides them the ability to tell a prospective employer, what you see is what you are getting." With this verification system the employers can extend an offer and receive an acceptance the same day as the interview. Its a win-win program.
