CIC has run background checks for Toledo-area employers from our Perrysburg headquarters since 1977, minutes from downtown Toledo. When you call, a real screening coordinator answers, and when a report needs a second look, it gets one from a human before it ever reaches your desk.
Toledo businesses hire in a market the big screening platforms never look at closely. We know the Lucas County and Wood County court systems firsthand, we know which local records the national databases miss, and we know the employers here because we are one. Family-owned and women-led, CIC has served Northwest Ohio hiring for nearly five decades.
Since 2020, Toledo employers with 15 or more employees cannot ask job applicants about their salary history or rely on it in setting pay. It trips up local businesses constantly, and it is exactly the kind of local rule a national screening vendor never flags. We build Toledo-specific compliance into every screening program we run here.
Statewide rules matter too, from Ohio’s sealed record protections to pending ban-the-box legislation. Our Ohio background checks page covers the full state picture, and the free Bad Hire Cost Calculator shows what one wrong hire costs.
Northwest Ohio hires in manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and skilled trades, and each carries its own screening needs: DOT-regulated motor vehicle records for drivers, license verification and sanctions screening for healthcare, drug testing programs with proper chain of custody for the plant floor. One local partner covers all of it, from criminal background checks verified at the county courthouse to electronic I-9 and E-Verify.
Our headquarters is at 610 Eckel Rd in Perrysburg, Ohio, about ten minutes from downtown Toledo. We serve the full Toledo metro in person and employers nationwide through our secure client portal.
Most background checks complete in 24 to 48 hours. Local courthouse research in Lucas or Wood County moves quickly because we work these court systems every week.
Not if they have 15 or more employees. Toledo’s Pay Equity Act has barred salary history questions since 2020. Ask us how it affects your application and interview process.
Yes. Plenty of our Toledo-area clients hire a handful of people a year. There are no platform fees or volume minimums, and you get the same dedicated screening coordinator our largest accounts get.
Talk to a screening coordinator who knows Toledo hiring. A conversation, not a sales pitch, from the firm your neighbors have trusted since 1977.
