Background Checks

Keep the public safe with GL Solutions’ experience in interfacing with local and federal background check vendors like the FBI.

Background Checks

GL Suite software features automated background check interfaces, seamlessly integrating information with background check vendors around the country, including state bureaus of investigation, the FBI and E-Gov. The automation allows the background check data to flow into GL Suite at a scheduled time, ensuring up to date and accurate information. 

Software Features

Staff users receive notifications of background check results via email, or another preferred method, helping facilitate the timely processing of applications, renewals, permits and employment eligibility, for example.

Additionally, GL Suite makes background check results available on the web, if desired, for employers or other authorized third parties to log in and review the results for their prospective or current employees. GL Solutions also supports real-time background checks for firearm sales, law enforcement background checks and stolen gun checks, and more.

Online background checks enable a provider contact with correct permissions to log into the background check website and see a summary of all background checks submitted. When GL Suite marks the background check as complete, the provider sees the eligibility letter created based on the results of the background check for that person. Background checks websites also facilitate a way for providers to manage their contacts, giving those contacts the ability to log in and check on background checks. A contact’s page showcases contact information and allows the provider to add or edit contact information or remove contacts.
