The Background Check Built for Mortgage Field Services
ShieldHub is the first background check solution designed to help you meet all your background check requirements for an entire year!
ShieldHub Makes it Easy
As an independent contractor, it’s not uncommon to have to purchase multiple background checks a year. ShieldHub eliminates this need by providing a continuously monitored background check that’s valid for an entire year. With the ability to share your ShieldScore with unlimited customer and partners, ShieldHub might be the last background check you’ll ever need to buy.
Frequently Asked Questions
ShieldHub is not a background check or consumer reporting agency but a technology designed to make it easy for independent contractors to meet background check requirements. Additional benefits not found in traditional background checks include:
Portability
With ShieldHub there’s no limit to number of customers you can share your background data with. ShieldID™ allows clients and customers to find your ShieldScore™.
If you make your ShieldID™ searchable on the network, it’s also absolutely free for clients and customers to verify your ShieldID™.
Save Money
Reduce the number of regular background checks you need to purchase annually by leveraging free ShieldID™ sharing and verification with unlimited clients and customers.
Data Protection
Every ShieldHub background check includes a standardized ShieldScore™ that’s designed to measure composite criminal risk. Companies that accept ShieldScore™ in lieu of a traditional background check get the security they need while protecting private and sensitive details found in regular background checks.
Data Sharing & Networking
As customers and clients request your ShieldScore™, they may also add you to their trusted network. Once you are in a client’s network you have complete control as to the data you share about yourself. ShieldPulse™ continuous monitoring enables your clients verify work eligibility 24/7 without you ever needing to purchase anything.

Tips & Tricks
PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING BACKGROUND CHECK(S): You will be required to complete two steps for proper verification. To avoid additional fees, please complete both steps according to the instructions below.
STEP 1
You will be required to provide two (2) photos of your face or “selfies” (one neutral expression and one smiling). When you take the photos, you will need to be in an area with good lighting so the photos will be crisp and not blurry. We highly recommend using a smart phone and not just a device with a camera. Please refer to the examples below on how to properly submit the pictures.
