Pricing & packages FAQ
Choosing and ordering the right screen.
- What's the difference between a package and an individual check?
- Packages (Basic, Standard, Premium) bundle the most commonly needed checks at a per-candidate price and are the fastest way to order. Individual checks let you build a custom screen: order any single check on its own, or combine several to match a specific role.
- How much does a background check cost?
- Pricing is transparent and in CAD with no setup fees or minimums. The Basic package starts at $34 per candidate; individual checks are priced per service and shown next to each. Government and third-party disbursement fees may apply on some checks.
- Which package should I choose?
- Basic (identity + criminal) suits high-volume and entry-level hiring. Standard adds employment, education, and reference verification for most professional roles. Premium is the most comprehensive screen, built for senior, regulated, and high-trust positions.
- Can I get volume or enterprise pricing?
- Yes. For high volume, regulated industries, or a bespoke mix of checks, Quality Screening Reports tailors a program with volume pricing and dedicated support. Contact us to set one up.
