Hiring Delays Are Holding Real Estate Brokerages Back

As real estate brokerages scale, one issue continues to slow growth: background screening. Manual workflows, slow turnaround times, and fragmented systems delay onboarding, license renewals, and coordination across offices.

For HR managers, licensing administrators, and operations leads, especially across Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta, these delays create friction where speed and compliance matter most.

What Background Checks Do Real Estate Teams Use Most?

In the real estate industry, two background checks are consistently in high demand:

  • Criminal Record Checks (CRC) – Commonly used in licensing and onboarding workflows, and often a regulatory requirement.
  • Criminal Record with Judicial Matters Checks (CRJMC) – Provides enhanced detail and is frequently required in sensitive or high-risk roles.

For small and mid-sized brokerages, Social Media Background Checks are also gaining traction. They’re often used to assess public-facing risk factors and ensure alignment with brand and professional standards.

Together, these checks support compliance, trust, and hiring confidence in a competitive and reputation-driven industry.

Where Traditional Screening Falls Short

Too often, screening providers complicate the process for real estate teams with issues such as:

  • Turnaround times that slow down hiring
  • Complex login portals and tech dependencies
  • Lack of customization by office size or region
  • Inflexible billing (e.g., no agent-pays options)

Legacy systems haven’t kept pace with today’s demands. For growing real estate brokerages, these inefficiencies create avoidable delays and friction.
