I actually have experience in implementing both Lexis Nexis and ADP. Lexis Nexis is more flexible, but, both have great APIs.

I've used backgroundchecks.com in a past product. Was fine for what we were looking for and relatively cost effective.

@Steve Banfield, did you use the API from backgroundchecks.com? How was the documentation in terms of the different end points, parameters, error conditions, etc?

In other words, can I write tests based on documentation or will I have to feel things out through trial and error?

For sharing economy and peer-to-peer marketplaces, take a look at the API and Sharing Economy Background check services from GoodHire.

Our prices are competitive, and our API has different endpoints to meet direct employer or ATS recruiting software services with multiple company requirements.
