Introducing the Background Check Solution for Independent Contractors.

Being an independent contractor or gig worker often means taking on additional costs just to earn business. Today more than ever clients are continuously requesting background checks as a condition of engagement. This often means purchasing multiple background checks every year just to work. ShieldHub addresses this problem by allowing independent contractors to purchase a single background check and share those results securely with all their clients using their anonymous ShieldID (ABC#).

While background checks are an important tool for building trust, unnecessary checks also risk exposing private or personal data. ShieldHub addresses this by scoring each background check, so your clients only see a composite ShieldScore that represents your background history. Clients never see the details of your background report, unless you want them to. In fact, with ShieldHub you own your data and have complete control over who has access to your ShieldScore. By joining your client’s ShieldHub network they can trust that your background check is as ready to go as you are.

Engage Contractors with Confidence

ShieldHub provides clients tools they need to view and manage their contractor workforce safety. At the same time. independent contractors receive unparalleled insight into customer security requirements, preventing adverse actions that can prevent engagement.

Settle your Score with ShieldHub

The Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA) adjudicates the report using ShieldHub’s proprietary standardization algorithms to create a composite ShieldScoreTM (IC Score) that communicates safety while keeping the details of your background check report private. ShieldScoreTM corresponds to one of five levels of compliance:

ShieldHub provides risk scoring standardization for the basis of the ShieldScore™ and is not responsible for the engagement acceptance criteria set by the Client’s Policies. ShieldScore™ considers both the severity and count of criminal convictions in the scope of the background check when determining a composite score. The visual matrix representation identifies thresholds for severity of criminal convictions, total of convictions allowable per level of scoring, is for informational purposes, and is not inclusive of every category or type of crime. IC01+ designation will be available to ShieldIDs issued or updated beginning April 2, 2024.
