Powered by Equifax, Smart Screen (TM) is an innovative solution seamlessly integrated into ClearStar's comprehensive, end-to-end workflow. Designed to help streamline and accelerate the delivery of criminal background checks, Smart Screen helps enable employers to make better informed hiring decisions more quickly and confidently.

'The synergy between ClearStar and Equifax is helping transform the background screening landscape,' said Michael Pritts, CEO of ClearStar. 'With unparalleled capabilities from Equifax and our dedication to excellence in human resources technology, we are delivering a groundbreaking solution that helps redefine how employers conduct criminal background checks.'

These reports must be used for permissible purposes as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). 'Criminal background checks often involve lengthy delays, sometimes stretching into days or weeks,' said Bart Lautenbach, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Talent Solutions at Equifax. 'In contrast, Smart Screen consumer reports from Equifax offer a significantly faster turnaround.'
