Signals tracked for Intelifi
The public records we read for Intelifi, ordered by how close each sits to a staffing firm's own background-check workload. Every firm on the Accounts tab came out of one of these classes.
How we rank a record
Two questions decide a record's value: does it say the staffing firm itself runs the checks, and is high-volume hiring visibly under way at that firm now. A contract clause or a council record beats a trade story, and a live role on the firm's own job board beats a copy on an aggregator.
One record is a lead. A dated contract or business change plus a sign that the firm runs its own checks is the strongest row. A record shows workload. It does not show that a firm is looking for a new screening vendor.
Closest to the background-check workload
Checks running nowThe record says the staffing firm itself runs the checks, or the firm is hiring the person who runs them.
Contract text that puts the checks on the staffing firm
A city or county contract whose own text makes the staffing firm run background checks or drug tests on the workers it supplies.
From this screenA & Associates, Inc.: Dallas City Council award for temporary sanitation labor, whose text makes the staffing agency responsible for hiring, background checks and drug testing, approved May 27, 2026.

BOLT Staffing Service, Inc.: the same county clause, passed September 22, 2026.
Federal order with contractor-run checks
A federal staffing order whose statement of work has the contractor run criminal history, driving-record and drug checks on the people it hires.

Context on the row
Never lead with theseLabels that say what kind of account the firm is. They never put a firm on the list.
Size of the firm
Offices, branches and internal staff, from the firm's own pages or a public record. It tells Intelifi how large the account is.
From this screenAnDek Holdings: 11 offices across four states, per the Business Wire release on its acquisition of Employ Partners, July 20, 2026. Masis Staffing Solutions: 85 locations listed on its own site, 37 of them marked on-site, page modified October 2, 2026.

From this screenKP Staffing: Recruiter post at the Round Rock branch has recruiters keep candidate records in Bullhorn, dated October 26, 2026.
Current screening vendor, when a public source names it
Recorded only when a public source names it, such as a vendor's customer case study. It is a label on the row. It says who runs the checks today and nothing about the firm's plans.
From this screenKP Staffing: KarmaCheck's customer case study names KP Staffing and describes checks ordered from Bullhorn. The page shows no date; KarmaCheck's sitemap dates it December 3, 2025.
What each firm arrives with
- The staffing firm and the dated records that flagged it, linked to the primary source
- The named owner and the seat to approach, with title
- The suggested first line and the correction, so outreach never claims more than the record shows
Signal classes describe categories of public record and the cadence we read them on. Per-firm claims live on the Accounts tab with their sources. A record shows workload. It does not show that a firm is looking for a new screening vendor.
