&gt; Is the issue the cost of fingerprint checks? Can&#x27;t fingerprint checks be made cheaper?<p>The logistics and costs are both high. Honestly I&#x27;m all for background checks but fingerprinting is completely unrealistic. There are a lot of on-demand services nowadays some of which drive you places, others go into your home. I can&#x27;t imagine Uber and Lyft will be the only ones required to do fingerprinting eventually.<p>Someone has to come up with a better way of doing this, remotely, otherwise it&#x27;s simply not realistic in my opinion.<p>&gt; Isn&#x27;t there a YC company that is in the background check business? Edit: Ah yes, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;checkr.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;checkr.com&#x2F;</a><p>Yeah but checkr doesn&#x27;t do fingerprinting either.
