Notes from the pricing page
- Sister product to TransUnion SmartMove (tenant screening) and ShareAble for Multifamily (enterprise rental screening). The Hires product is the workforce variant.
- Pricing structure favours flows where the candidate pays the screening fee at submission.
- Bureau-grade SSN verification leveraging TransUnion consumer credit data.
The three TransUnion products are not the same
TransUnion publishes three distinct workforce / tenant screening products and they are often confused:
- SmartMove is the individual landlord tenant-screening product ($25 / $40 / $48 per report).
- ShareAble for Hires is the workforce background-check product covered on this page ($25 / $35 / $45 per check).
- ShareAble for Multifamily is the enterprise multifamily-portfolio tenant-screening product, sold quote-only.
If you have been quoted a custom price on a TransUnion product, confirm which of the three you are buying.
What is in each tier
- Basic ($25). SSN verification, national criminal records, sex offender registry, OFAC watchlist.
- Standard ($35). Basic plus 7-year county criminal records.
- Premium ($45). Standard plus federal criminal and motor vehicle records.
Hidden costs
- Candidate-pays flow. The pricing structure favours flows where the candidate pays the screening fee at submission. If your hiring process puts the fee on the employer, factor that into the per-check calculation.
- Drug testing and education verification. Not included; available as add-ons at separate per-check pricing.
- Pass-through court fees. County and state record fees may apply where the criminal search reaches a court directly.
