Description

Texas State Technical College (TSTC) is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to provide comprehensive background check services. TSTC is committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment for its students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Effective background screening is an essential component of our commitment to safety and security. Currently HR uses the third-party services of HireRight for processing employment background checks and drug screening results. Due to HireRight’s less than desirable customer service, increased invoice errors and billing discrepancies, and slow response time for deliverables, HR is requesting to obtain the services of a more reliable and trustworthy background check and drug screening vendor.
