/ FAQ
Common questions
Are there really no minimums?
Correct. Run one check or one thousand — no contracts, no monthly minimums, no setup fees.
How much does a check cost?
Packages start at less than the cost of a bad hire's first day. See live pricing on our pricing page before you commit.
Is this FCRA-compliant?
Yes. Ethur generates the FCRA disclosures, candidate consent forms, and adverse action letters automatically.
Can my candidate complete this on their phone?
Yes — the entire flow is mobile-first and finishes in about 4 minutes.
What if I scale to 50+ hires a year?
You'll automatically qualify for volume pricing — no need to call anyone or sign a new contract.
