Background checks with the price shown upfront.
A free app to verify new hires, contract workers and vendors' staff. Start alone, with no sales call: add a candidate, pick a package, see the price before you pay. USR's background verification partners do the checks; your HR team gets one clear report.
HR reads the report. A person makes the hiring decision, never the app.

Why USR BGV: what is broken today, and what changes
Background checks are bought one way today: separate portals, hidden prices and details typed again at every step. Here is how USR BGV compares, by category.
| What HR needs | Standalone BGV service | BGV add-on inside an HRMS | Excel, email and WhatsApp | USR BGV |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price shown before you buy | Often after a sales call | Varies | Not applicable | Published after review |
| Start alone, no contract or minimum | Usually a contract or minimum volume | Only if you buy that HRMS | Yes | Free app, start in minutes |
| One login (SSO) with your HR apps | Separate portal and login | Yes, inside that HRMS | No | USR sign-in, Microsoft or Google |
| Data flows, no re-typing | Upload and download by hand | Within that HRMS only | Copy and paste | From USR Hire or any HR tool by Excel or API |
| API and integration effort | Your IT team builds and maintains it | Built for one HRMS | None, all manual | REST API, webhooks and Excel import |
| Result in the employee record | PDF to file somewhere | Sometimes | Lost in mail | Planned: cleared joiners move to USR HRIS |
| Plain notice to the candidate | Varies | Varies | Rarely | In the candidate's language, before any check |
| Choice of verification partner | One provider | One provider | Not applicable | Several partners behind one screen |
| Free to start | Sometimes a trial | Paid add-on | Free, but risky | Free app, no seat fee |
| Built for small and mid-size firms | Priced for large companies | If you have the HRMS | Yes, but no evidence | No minimum; staffing and GCC options |
Typical patterns by category, from public provider pages and our market check (Nov 2026); individual providers vary. USR BGV is in Preview; "planned" items are not live yet. Prices before 18% GST.
And it runs on USR One: one login, one record, every department
Free to start
Every company gets the app free, with a starter allowance so you can see real results before you pay.
Free app, for every company
Cases, candidates and reports in one place. No seat fee. Use it on its own or inside USR Hire.
Packages, per candidate
Lite, Workforce, Standard and Plus packages, paid per candidate from a prepaid wallet. Prices are published after a legal review. India first.
How it will work
Four steps. You see the status of every check on one screen.
1. Add the candidate
By hand, from an Excel sheet, by API from your HR tool, or straight from the offer stage in USR Hire.
2. Candidate agrees
The candidate gets a plain-language notice of what will be checked and why, and agrees before any check starts.
3. Partners verify
USR's background verification partners run the checks. Each check shows its status: verified, in progress, or unable to verify.
4. HR decides
One report with the evidence. A person reads it and makes the decision. The app never scores or ranks people.
Who it is for
Small and mid-size businesses
Check every new hire without a contract or a minimum order. Pay per candidate.
Contractors and staffing firms
The Workforce package for contract workers, with USR Workforce free up to 25 workers.

Run checks for USR customers
Background verification agencies and verification partners, domestic, regional and global. Your checks, listed in the USR app with prices shown upfront to every company that signs up. Write to apps@usrinfo.tech.
The concept in one picture
USR Apps runs the software. USR Partners do the checks. Your HR team makes the decision.
Each check shows one of three plain statuses. "Unable to verify" is shown honestly with the reason, and a person in HR decides what it means.
Who does what
Clear roles, so nobody wonders who is responsible for a check.
| Task | USR Apps | USR Partner | Your HR team |
|---|---|---|---|
| Set up the case and pick a package | USR BGV app | – | Adds the candidate |
| Candidate link, notice and agreement step | USR BGV app | – | – |
| Identity, education, employment and court checks | Sends the request, tracks it | Does the check | – |
| Address visits and field work | Tracks it | Does the visit | – |
| Status on one screen and one report | USR BGV app | Uploads findings | Reads the report |
| Hiring decision | Never decides | Never decides | Decides |
| Wallet, invoice and partner payout | USR BGV app | Paid through USR | Tops up the wallet |
| Move the cleared joiner into HR records | USR Hire and USR HRIS | – | One click |

Questions about USR BGV
What does USR Apps do, and what does a USR Partner do?
USR Apps is the software: the case, the candidate link, the status screen, the report, the wallet and the link to USR Hire and USR HRIS. A USR Partner is a verification company that does the checks themselves, such as records, calls and address visits. USR does not do field work and does not employ field staff.
Is background checking on by default in USR Hire?
Yes. In USR Hire, checks are part of the offer stage by default. You can switch it off for a role, or start checks by hand later. Without USR Hire, the USR BGV app works on its own.
Can I use my current verification company?
That is planned. Your provider can join as a USR Partner and run checks inside USR, so you keep one screen and one report. Ask them to write to apps@usrinfo.tech.
Does it work for blue collar and contract workers?
Yes. Candidates get a simple phone link, with no app to download. Address visits and references are done by partners. For contract labour it works with USR Workforce.
Can a GCC use USR BGV?
Yes. GCCs can verify India centre hires on one screen, with a report their global HQ can read. Indian candidates' data stays in India on AWS. The USR security pack is shared under NDA on request.
Does the app score or rank candidates?
No. The app shows what was found, with the evidence. A person in your HR team makes every decision.
What happens if a check cannot be verified?
The check shows "unable to verify" with the reason, for example an employer that did not reply. HR decides what to do next.
When will prices be published?
Prices are published after review. Join the preview to hear first.
Does USR BGV work outside India?
India first. Checks for the Gulf and other regions are planned through local USR Partners.
We are a verification company. How do we become a USR Partner?
Write to apps@usrinfo.tech with the checks you do, the cities and countries you cover and your turnaround times.
What does Preview mean?
USR BGV is new. Prices and packages on this page are preview prices and are confirmed when the app opens to everyone. Join the preview to be among the first companies to use it.
Do I need USR Hire to use USR BGV?

Who carries out the checks?
USR's background verification partners carry out the checks. USR provides the app, the candidate notice and the report.
How do I pay?
