CIChecked Partners with Paylocity to Deliver Screening Through ATS Integration

New York-licensed private investigative agency brings 30+ years of healthcare compliance expertise to Paylocity's 36,000+ organizations; proprietary NY Checked™ technology delivers 66% cost savings over traditional state searches

LATHAM, NY – 02/05/2026 – CIChecked (Commercial Investigations LLC), a New York State-licensed private investigative agency specializing in background screening and compliance services, today announced its integration with Paylocity.

The partnership brings CIChecked's investigative approach to background screening - differentiated from automated database-only services - directly into Paylocity's human capital management platform used by over 36,000 organizations nationwide.

Unlike database aggregation services that dominate the background screening market, CIChecked employs licensed private investigators to conduct comprehensive, multi-jurisdictional searches that catch records automated systems frequently miss. The integration enables Paylocity users to access this investigative rigor without leaving their HR platform.

"The background screening industry has become commoditized around speed and automation, but many employers - particularly in healthcare, education, and highly regulated industries - need accuracy over velocity," said Michelle Pyan, President and Founder of CIChecked. "Our licensed investigators provide the human verification layer that database-only searches can't replicate. Now Paylocity users can access that expertise seamlessly within their existing workflow."

Key Differentiators for Paylocity Users:

NY Checked™ Cost Advantage: CIChecked's proprietary New York criminal search, NY Checked™, delivers results at $32.50 per search - 66% below the $95 cost of traditional New York State Office of Court Administration (OCA) searches - with 2-4 hour turnaround times versus 5-10 business days. For New York employers conducting high-volume hiring, this represents significant annual savings.

Healthcare Comply Plus™: A consolidated exclusion database search covering OIG, SAM, state Medicaid exclusion lists, and other federally-required databases in a single verification - critical for healthcare organizations maintaining CMS compliance.

Individualized Assessment Decision Matrix™: Built-in compliance framework that guides hiring decisions when criminal records appear, helping employers navigate EEOC guidance and state-specific fair chance laws while maintaining audit trails.

Integration Features:

• One-click background check initiation from Paylocity candidate profiles
• Real-time status updates within Paylocity workflow
• Automatic compliance documentation attached to candidate records
• Direct access to licensed investigators via in-platform chat
• Configurable screening packages by position type

The integration is available immediately to all Paylocity customers. CIChecked offers complimentary integration setup and training for organizations switching from existing screening providers.
