We Take the Hassle Out, Saving You Time and Money
Eliminate the Hassle: In today’s gig-driven world, a lot of companies are asking you to sort out your own background checks, but they don’t give much guidance on how or where to get it done. They say, ‘Just head to the courthouse,’ but that’s not as simple as it sounds. You’ve got to deal with the journey, parking costs, figuring out which office to visit, paying admin fees, and then waiting ages just to get a slice of the information you need. To top it all off, most courthouses have restricted access and limited hours. It can be a real headache!
Save Time and Money: Using Edify for your self-check background check is more efficient and cost-effective than gathering records from public offices or agencies. Instead of trying to gather all the details on your own, our service consolidates it for you, potentially saving you significant time and effort.
