What background check providers does VolunteerReady support?

VolunteerReady integrates with Checkr and Sterling. Connect your existing account in minutes — we handle API integration, status tracking, and webhook processing.

Is the background check process FCRA compliant?

Yes. VolunteerReady automates the full FCRA compliance workflow including pre-adverse action notices, waiting periods, and final adverse action letters.

How are API keys and credentials stored?

OAuth tokens and API keys are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Key rotation is supported. Your provider credentials never sit in plaintext.

Do background check results carry between organizations?

Yes. Background check results become portable credentials that volunteers carry across every organization on the platform, with configurable expiration dates.
