New integration simplifies compliance and centralizes workforce data for highly regulated businesses

The collaboration introduces a custom integration that streamlines background checks and improves compliance for cannabis operators.

With the launch of this integration, Würk clients can now initiate background checks through a co-branded portal with NCS. Once a candidate is hired, the background check report is automatically stored in the employee's Würk profile, eliminating manual uploads, reducing administrative burden, and ensuring secure, centralized recordkeeping.
The integration does not require an applicant tracking system (ATS) module, making it flexible and easy to adopt across diverse hiring workflows. This innovation supports Würk's mission to provide secure, compliant, and scalable HR solutions to high-risk, heavily regulated industries such as cannabis.
“Our clients are navigating complex hiring and compliance requirements every day,” said Deborah Saneman, CEO at Würk. “By integrating with NCS, we're giving them a faster, more secure way to manage background checks. Most importantly, one that meets the unique demands of cannabis businesses without adding friction to their workflows.”
The partnership also extends NCS's reach into the growing cannabis sector through purpose-built HR technology integrations that prioritize both efficiency and compliance.
“We're proud to partner with Würk to deliver a background check experience that's not only fast and compliant, but tailored to the operational realities of the cannabis industry,” said Travis Fink, CEO of National Crime Search. “This integration helps operators stay ahead of regulatory requirements while hiring with confidence and speed.”
