Intelifi buyer-window signal capture

Evidence

• On May 27, 2026, Dallas City Council approved a three-year service price agreement with A & Associates, Inc. for temporary sanitation field labor, estimated at $66,324,838.08 (about $66 million), chosen as the most advantageous of ten proposers.
• The same council record says the temporary workers remain employees of the staffing agency, which is responsible for hiring, background checks, drug testing, safety training, payroll and supervision.
• A City of Dallas memorandum dated April 21, 2026 says Sanitation requires approximately 240 temporary laborers each day, with high turnover that calls for continuous high-volume recruitment and rapid onboarding, and that the agreement replaces the contract expiring August 2026.
• A&A's own applicant board lists a Dallas Compliance & Staffing Manager opening, posted September 1, 2026, whose duties include coordinating and monitoring background checks through completion.

Practical opening

“On May 27, Dallas approved a three-year, roughly $66 million agreement with A&A for temporary sanitation labor. The council record says the staffing agency is responsible for hiring, background checks and drug testing. So the record that awards the work also puts the background checks on A&A. We could offer A&A a side-by-side turnaround test on its Dallas county searches.”

Claim boundaryDo not call this a new client win. A&A has held the Dallas work since 2021, and the record does not say A&A is looking at screening vendors.

Has held the Dallas work since 2021; this is a larger re-award.

• Masis announced on its own site that it acquired Royal Personnel Services, a 31-year-old Arizona staffing firm, effective immediately; the page was published July 1, 2026.
• Masis announced on October 23, 2026 that Elgen Staffing, a New Jersey firm specializing in direct-hire recruiting, is joining it; the post calls it a partnership and gives no closing date.
• Masis's employer FAQ says it offers local and national criminal background checks, comprehensive drug tests, and education, work history and reference screenings.

Practical opening

“In July, Masis acquired Royal Personnel Services, a 31-year-old Arizona staffing firm, effective immediately. Its employer FAQ says Masis offers local and national criminal background checks and drug tests. That suggests Royal's candidates now come under a firm that runs its own criminal checks and drug tests. We could offer a side-by-side turnaround test on county searches for Royal's Arizona offices.”

Claim boundaryDo not say Masis is consolidating screening vendors or that Elgen adds check volume. Neither post says so.

About 48 branches, larger than Intelifi's usual account.

Evidence

• JobSource Inc. and The Reserves Network announced on October 5, 2026 the completion of their merger, under a JobSource parent whose shared-services group runs risk management, legal and regulatory compliance and onboarding systems for every brand.
• TRN's own job board carries an internal, permanent Recruiter opening in Omaha, NE, added November 4, 2026, whose duties include background checks, employment verifications and drug screenings.
• TRN's own job board carries an internal Branch Manager opening in West Allis, WI, posted October 14, 2026, to oversee the day-to-day operations and sales of the branch.

Practical opening

“On October 5, The Reserves Network and JobSource announced that their merger is complete. TRN's live recruiter post, added November 4, lists background checks, employment verifications and drug screenings among the duties. That suggests two firms' hiring is being combined while TRN's own recruiters still run the background checks. We could offer a side-by-side turnaround test on county searches at one TRN branch.”

Claim boundaryDo not say the merger will change TRN's screening vendor. The release does not say that, and the choice may sit with JobSource.

The screening choice may now sit with the new parent, JobSource, in California.

Evidence

• KP Staffing announced on May 26, 2026 the upcoming opening of its new Round Rock, Texas office to support the Austin market.
• KP Staffing's own job board lists an internal, direct-hire Recruiter post at the Round Rock branch (Job #57574), dated October 26, 2026, whose duties include onboarding and keeping candidate records in Bullhorn.
• KarmaCheck's customer case study says KP Staffing processes dozens of background checks and candidates every day, from candidate records in Bullhorn; the page shows no date.

Practical opening

“In May, KP Staffing announced a new Round Rock office for the Austin market. KarmaCheck's case study says KP processes dozens of background checks every day through KarmaCheck inside Bullhorn. That suggests the new Austin branch is feeding more candidates into a screening process KP already runs at volume. We could offer a side-by-side turnaround test on county searches at the Round Rock branch.”

Claim boundaryDo not say KP is unhappy with KarmaCheck or looking to change vendors. KP's quotes in the case study praise KarmaCheck.

Uses KarmaCheck inside Bullhorn today, per KarmaCheck's own case study.

Evidence

• HW Staffing Solutions announced on its own blog, in a post dated June 11, 2026, that it acquired TPi Staffing, a New England regional staffing firm, and that TPi will integrate into the HW Staffing Solutions family.
• HW launched Metier Talent Partners, a new talent-acquisition company it owns, in the Greater Boston market, in a post dated October 26, 2026.
• The same post describes HW Staffing Solutions as a full-service staffing and placement firm.

Practical opening

“In June, HW Staffing Solutions announced it acquired TPi Staffing, a New England regional firm. On October 26, HW launched Metier Talent Partners, a new company it owns, in Boston. That suggests TPi's candidates now come through HW's hiring process, though no record shows how HW screens. We could offer a side-by-side turnaround test on county searches at one TPi office.”

Claim boundaryDo not say HW runs its own checks in volume or name a vendor for it. Nothing public shows how HW screens.

Nothing public shows how HW screens or which vendor it uses.

Evidence

• On September 22, 2026, San Bernardino County's Board of Supervisors approved five-year contracts with 17 agencies, CathyJon Enterprises dba HB Staffing among them, to supply temporary election workers to the Registrar of Voters through September 22, 2031.
• The county contract with CathyJon Enterprises, Inc. dba HB Staffing says the contractor shall conduct a background check, at its sole expense, on all its personnel providing services.
• On June 10, 2026, Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District's board approved adding $75,000 to HB Staffing's on-call temporary staffing agreement, for a new not-to-exceed total of $128,000, and extended it to June 30, 2027.

Practical opening

“In September, San Bernardino County approved a five-year election worker contract with HB Staffing, one of 17 agencies. The contract says HB must run a background check, at its own expense, on everyone it places. So the contract that awards the work also puts the background checks on HB. We could offer a side-by-side turnaround test on county searches before the next election season.”

Claim boundaryDo not say HB chooses its own screening vendor or holds the county work alone. HB is owned by Array Corporation and is one of 17 vendors.

Owned by Array Corporation. Award is shared among 17 firms.

Decision ownerJonathan Davis, Vice President · Signed the San Bernardino County contract for CathyJon Enterprises, Inc. dba HB Staffing · The screening vendor decision likely sits with the parent, Array Corporation

Evidence

• On July 15, 2026, Fulton County's Board of Commissioners approved up to $8,958,784.66 (about $9 million) for Abacus Corporation of Morrow, GA to staff the 2026 general election and runoffs under Georgia's statewide temporary staffing contract, about 797 to 799 workers.
• Abacus's own job board carries a General Apply posting for its Fulton County election assignments, posted July 31, 2026.
• Abacus has a live internal Sourcing Recruiter post on its own job board, posted November 11, 2026, in Plainfield, Indiana, to screen and match candidates for client positions.

Practical opening

“In July, Fulton County approved about $9 million for Abacus to supply 797 to 799 election workers. Abacus posted an internal sourcing recruiter role on November 11 to screen and match candidates. That suggests Abacus hires in large numbers against fixed dates, though no public record says who runs the checks. We could offer a side-by-side turnaround test on one office's county searches.”

Claim boundaryDo not say Abacus runs the background checks on the Fulton workers. No public record says who runs them, and the main election hiring is done.

Larger than Intelifi's usual account, and no public record says who runs the checks.

Evidence

• On April 7, 2026, the National Park Service placed a $1,326,632.86 order (about $1.3 million) with Alternative Staffing Corporation, which trades as LC Staffing, to staff Glacier National Park's visitor shuttle system through April 6, 2027.
• The statement of work for the parent contract, from the 2022 solicitation, says the contractor shall have a criminal history investigation completed for each applicant before employment; the same contract calls for a driving record and DOT drug and alcohol testing on at least 64 commercial drivers.
• LC Staffing published new Utah and Idaho market pages on October 19, 2026, each with a local phone number and no street address; the Utah page describes LC Staffing's expansion into Utah.

Practical opening

“In April, the National Park Service placed a $1.3 million order with LC Staffing to staff Glacier's shuttles. The contract makes LC run a criminal history check, a driving record and DOT drug tests on drivers. That suggests LC must run those checks on each season's drivers under this order. We could offer a turnaround test on driving records and county searches.”

Claim boundaryDo not say LC has won next season's work or that volume is rising. The shuttle contract is out to re-bid and this is the fifth yearly order.

One dated record. The shuttle work is out to re-bid.

Evidence

• A Business Wire release dated July 20, 2026 says AnDek Holdings acquired Employ Partners Incorporated of Kennesaw and Jasper, GA, and that the acquisition closed June 29, 2026.
• The same release says AnDek has 11 offices across four states.
• Avionte's public job-board record shows Employ Partners' General Apply board inside the same Avionte build, andekstaffing, as Match Staffing's boards; the record shows no date.

Practical opening

“AnDek Holdings acquired Employ Partners, a Georgia staffing firm, in a deal that closed June 29, 2026. Employ Partners' job applications now run on the same applicant system as AnDek's Match Staffing brand. That suggests three brands' candidates now come through one hiring process, though nothing public shows how they are screened. We could offer a side-by-side turnaround test on one brand's county searches.”

Claim boundaryDo not say AnDek is consolidating screening or runs its own checks in volume. No public record describes how any of its brands screens.

One dated record. Nothing public shows how its brands screen.

Evidence

• On September 22, 2026, San Bernardino County's Board of Supervisors passed five-year contracts with 17 agencies, BOLT Staffing Service, Inc. among them, to supply temporary election workers to the Registrar of Voters through September 22, 2031.
• The county contract with BOLT Staffing Service, Inc. says the contractor shall conduct a background check, at its sole expense, on all its personnel providing services.
• Sonoma County staff ranked BOLT first of 67 qualified proposals for as-needed temporary staffing and recommend a blanket purchase order agreement of up to $2,000,000; the item moved from October 27 to the November 17, 2026 Board agenda and has not been voted.
• On March 25, 2026, Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District's board approved adding $57,000 to BOLT's on-call temporary staffing agreement, for a new not-to-exceed total of $109,000, and extended it through June 30, 2026.

Practical opening

“In September, San Bernardino County approved a five-year election worker contract with BOLT, one of 17 agencies. The contract says BOLT must run a background check, at its own expense, on everyone it places. So the contract that awards the work also puts the background checks on BOLT. We could offer BOLT a side-by-side turnaround test on its county searches.”

Claim boundaryDo not say BOLT holds the county work alone or that the Sonoma award is final. The award is shared among 17 firms and the Sonoma vote is set for November 17, 2026.

Small firm of about 14 staff. Award is shared among 17 firms.
