Need a replacement for Accurate Now?

If your team has been using Accurate Now, it is worth starting your transition plan immediately.

When a background check provider shuts down, the disruption usually hits hiring operations before it hits strategy. Teams lose access to familiar workflows, recruiting coordinators have to improvise, and open roles can stall while a new process is put in place.

The practical goal is simple: replace your screening workflow before it becomes a hiring bottleneck.

BackgroundChecks.com is one option for making that transition without adding long-term contract friction. It offers pay-as-you-go pricing, no setup fees, and the core screening products most employers need to keep hiring moving.

What the Accurate Now shutdown means for your business

Losing a screening provider is not just a software change. It can affect the entire hiring sequence around the background check itself.

Depending on your process, you may need to:

Recreate your existing screening packages
Update ATS or HRIS integrations
Reconfirm disclosure, consent, and adverse action workflows
Retrain recruiters, coordinators, or hiring managers
Test turnaround times before your next hiring push
Prevent delays between offer acceptance and onboarding

Even a short interruption can create downstream problems. Candidates may lose momentum, start dates can slip, and internal teams end up spending time on manual workarounds instead of hiring.

That is why the best replacement is not just a vendor with a long list of checks. It is a provider that can help you restore a dependable process quickly.

If you want help understanding the transition process, start with the support center. If you prefer a product walkthrough first, you can also watch the video library.

What to look for in a replacement provider

If you are moving off Accurate Now, this is a good moment to evaluate your next provider more carefully than you may have evaluated the last one.

At a minimum, look for:

Criminal background checks at the county, state, and federal level
Employment and education verifications
Motor vehicle records
Drug testing options
SSN trace and address history
Sex offender and watchlist screening
Support for pre-adverse and adverse action workflows
Pricing that does not force you into unnecessary volume commitments
Integrations that fit your existing hiring stack
Onboarding and support that can move on your timeline

The right switch should not only replace what you had. It should leave you with a cleaner, more resilient process.

Why BackgroundChecks.com is a strong Accurate Now alternative

BackgroundChecks.com is well-suited for teams that want to replace Accurate Now with a provider that is practical to implement and flexible to use.

Flexible pricing without long-term friction

You can get started without a long contract, minimum order commitment, or setup fee. That matters when you need to move quickly and want to avoid procurement overhead slowing the transition.

Screening options that match real hiring needs

Many employers do not run the same package for every role. BackgroundChecks.com offers a broad range of screening products, making it easier to align checks with the position rather than forcing every hire into the same template.

Compliance support built into the process

A background check is only useful if the process around it is handled correctly. That includes disclosure, authorization, and adverse action steps. A replacement provider should help you preserve that discipline during the switch.

Easier fit with existing workflows

If your team already works inside an ATS or a defined recruiting process, the transition will go more smoothly if your new provider can fit that structure instead of forcing a rebuild from scratch.

Faster path to going live

When a provider is shutting down, speed matters. The best replacement is one that helps you get operational again quickly, with enough support to avoid mistakes during implementation. Account creation, ordering, and report delivery in minutes!

A practical migration checklist

If you are replacing Accurate Now, use this checklist to keep the move organized:

Audit the checks and packages you use today
Identify which roles require which screening steps
Document your current consent and adverse action process
Review integration requirements with your ATS, HRIS, or onboarding tools
Assign one internal owner for the transition
Begin setup with your new provider as early as possible
Run a test workflow before you depend on it for active hiring

If you need help getting started, the support center is the best place to begin. If your team wants to see how the platform works before setup, the official video library is a useful next step.

Teams that move early typically have more time to map workflows, test packages, and avoid rushed decisions. Teams that wait usually end up making the same move under more pressure.

Do not let a provider shutdown slow your hiring

A screening platform should support your hiring operation, not become a point of failure inside it.

If Accurate Now is shutting down, the priority is to move to a provider that is stable, flexible, and straightforward to implement. BackgroundChecks.com gives employers a practical replacement path with screening coverage, compliance support, and pricing that does not require a heavy commitment upfront.

If you are ready to replace Accurate Now, now is the right time to make the switch and reestablish a dependable hiring workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions About Background Check Pricing

Is pay-as-you-go pricing really that simple?

With BackgroundChecks.com, yes. You create an account for free, build a report package, submit the candidate's email address, and pay at checkout. No subscription required. No minimum order. Most national criminal searches return instantly.

Are you PBSA Accredited?

Yes, we are! The Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA) establishes and promotes verifies CRAs achieve and maintain the highest level of ethics and performance standards for the screening industry. Accreditation is reserved for those CRA's willing to achieve the highest standards set by the most reputable association in the USA.

What if I only hire a few people per year?

Pay-as-you-go is the ideal model for low-frequency hiring. If you onboard one or two people per quarter, a subscription with a monthly minimum would dramatically inflate your true cost per check. With pay-as-you-go, your per-check cost remains flat regardless of volume.

What is included in FCRA compliance support?

FCRA compliance requires specific pre- and post-adverse action processes when you decline a candidate based on background check results. A fully compliant provider includes tools for generating pre-adverse action notices, tracking the required waiting period, and sending final adverse action letters. These tools should be included in the base account, not gated behind a premium tier.

Can I connect my ATS to a background check platform without extra cost?

With BackgroundChecks.com, yes. Direct integrations with Greenhouse, Lever, JazzHR, Jobvite, Workable, and other major ATS platforms are available to all accounts at no additional charge.
