I'd love any feedback you have on what system/company you use for your criminal background checks, and pros and cons of them. 
Thanks,

Pros - very fast; nationwide search (important for us because we have a lot of people relocating from other states); they perform a complete criminal locator search with OIG/GSA, which our general counsel required (I had to match the checks our HR department was performing)

Cons - I have a base price, which is kind of expensive in my opinion, but still less than what it costs our HR department thru the company they use. Some states charge an extra fee for aliases, so that increases my cost.

We use the MS State Department of Health for ours. They run a nation wide search on applicants. 

It costs us $50. for each one. We usually get it back within 24-36 hours. 

I don't get to choose the company. Ours is Certiphi.
