Our commitments to public agencies
These apply to every agency engagement, without exception.
US-based placements
Every professional we place with a public agency lives in the US and is authorized to work here.
Work performed in the US
Work done for your agency is performed in the US, on site or remotely as your agency allows.
Your data stays in the US
We do not ask for agency data to run a search. Placed staff use your systems under your accounts.
Screening to your rules
Background checks scoped to your policy and the systems the role will touch.
How our recruiting team works
Our recruiting work has 2 sides. The professionals we place work for you, in the US. Our internal recruiting team works for Konnex: it researches public candidate sources, contacts candidates and runs first screens.
Some members of that internal team work remotely from outside the US. They never access agency systems, agency data or work performed for your agency. They handle only candidate information that candidates give us to apply, stored in Konnex systems with access controls and multi-factor sign-in.
If your contract or state rules require all vendor staff on an engagement to be in the US, tell us at intake. We will staff the engagement to match, or tell you plainly that we cannot.
Background check process
We match the check to the role and your policy. A typical sequence:
- Disclosure and consent. Candidates receive FCRA disclosures and authorize the check in writing.
- Identity and work authorization. Form I-9 for contract staff we employ, with E-Verify where your contract requires it.
- Criminal history. Searches scoped to your policy, run through a US background screening provider.
- Credentials. Education, licenses and certifications the role requires, verified at the source.
- References and employment history. Structured reference checks with past supervisors.
- Agency checks. We coordinate with your fingerprinting, drug screening or CJIS process. Final approval stays with your agency.
If a check returns something that may affect a decision, we follow the FCRA adverse action process before anything is final.
Rules we plan around
Some public data comes with strict rules on who may access it and from where. We confirm which apply at intake.
| Rule | What it means for staffing |
|---|---|
| IRS Publication 1075 | Federal tax information may only be accessed from within the US. Relevant to revenue, benefits and child support work. |
| FBI CJIS Security Policy | Fingerprint-based checks for anyone with unescorted access to criminal justice information. |
| FERPA | Student records stay under the institution's direct control. Placed staff follow your data agreements. |
| State contract terms | Several states, including New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma and Georgia, restrict where contracted services and state data may be performed or accessed. Maryland requires disclosure. |
This is a summary for planning, not legal advice. Your contract and your counsel have the final word.
What we do not claim
We would rather tell you what we lack than let you find out later.
- No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification today
- No MBE, DBE, HUB or similar certification
- No cooperative contract awards of our own
- No agency client logos or testimonials on this site
Other policies
Equal opportunity. We recruit and refer candidates without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status or any other protected status.
Accessibility. We build this site to meet WCAG 2.1 AA. If anything is hard to use, email info@konnexsolutions.com and we will fix it.

Are any of your placed staff outside the US?

Who on your side sees our data?
Nobody needs your agency data to run a search. Only the professionals you place access your systems, under your accounts and policies.
