Easy Background Screening

We send employees into client's homes, so we wanted to ensure that we are only hiring the best people. Having a clear background check provides reassurance for our clients and other employees.

PROS

The system interfaces with our payroll and ATS systems, so we can easily complete the hiring process without delay. You can create customized packages - or use a standard one - depending on your hiring needs. The results come back quickly and accurately.

CONS

There are no concerns with this product. The interface is easy to use and the results are easy to find.

One-stop shopping with accuracy

We chose Hire Right because ideally we wanted a source to do our criminal backgrounds, MVR, and drug screening, along with driver monitoring services. They were able to make that happen. We had to go through credentialing and the person who came to inspect us was thorough and friendly, and assisted us to be sure we knew what we needed to do. Our account representative was amazing and they made it easy to select and use them. I had used once before with another employer but was not involved in the set up or selection. They went the extra mile for us. It is nice to have one stop shopping!

PROS

I like the ease of integration into our current ATS/People management software. It was an easy process and the account rep guided us though and was available for questions. It is extremely thorough with details we need.

CONS

It can be a bit clunky to use if you need other things but there is a live chat that can help you through most things.

Reason for choosing HireRight

Checkr was good, but they could not offer the driver monitoring offshoot

Reasons for switching to HireRight

We needed an inclusive option as our background provider could not offer us MVR or driver monitoring. We also wanted more options if we needed them.

Does the job, but it needs work

It's okay, but not great. It needs a lot of work to increase the user and candidate experience to be more positive.

PROS

The ability to send background checks is easy.

CONS

It doesn't provide a great user experience for new hires. It's not easy to get things resolved. Customer service can be a challenge to work with as they don't know the product well enough to provide solutions.

Reason for choosing HireRight

The cost and it integrates with our ATS.

Easy to use background check system

This has been an easy to set up, solid, reliable system for over a year.

PROS

HireRight integrates with our HRIS (Ceridian-Dayforce) making background checks a simple part of our onboarding process.

CONS

If I have to go into the system to manually update something, its a little bit of learning curve to figure out where to go.

HireRight for Background Screening

PROS

One of the best features of HireRight is its ability to integrate with Applicant Tracking Systems while being cost effective. They make it easy and affordable for their clients to be able to begin the process and have all the results seamlessly transfer into their ATS.

CONS

As a user, the experience is great. Candidates, however, have complained on the process and the amount of data needed in order to complete the background. Imagine it's to ensure the best and most accurate screening of the candidate.

Seamless Integration with Our ATS

Overall, I have had a great experience with HireRight so far. I love that I can be CCed on emails that go out to new hires to verify that they have received the initial email from HireRight to start the background check process.

PROS

We use HireRight for our background checks and I like it a lot so far. When I first started using it, we had a really detailed call with the HireRight team and they were really good about making sure we knew how to use all aspects of the software. We recently shifted the entire onboarding process to Jobvite and Hireright had a seamless integration with it! It's very user- friendly and starting the background check process can be accomplished in a few clicks. I also like that HireRight emails you when there are issues with the report or when the researcher needs to gather more information.

CONS

I think HireRight is pretty user friendly but I would like the option to add the most frequently used package to the top of the drop down list. We always use the same one and I find searching through the menu to be quite manual.

Easy tool for background checks and I-9s

PROS

Background check process is easy to use and easy to read as an administrator. Administering the I-9s to the employees is simple.

CONS

The most recent I-9 update for remote workers - there wasn't an easy way to do this using HireRight. I thought they would have come up with a helpful solution for companies that have workers in other states.

HireRight is my go to!

PROS

HireRight is the go to software for running background checks on potential employees. I love using this software and maintaining those records in a confidential program. A+ score from me!

CONS

I haven't used any other product but HireRight for backgrounds checks, so I don't have any comparisons. I have no cons at this time.

Worst Experience Ever

Couldn't complain enough about this group

PROS

Absolutely nothing. HireRight makes you go through way too much and is not something I would recommend.

CONS

They make you list places you've lived in like the past 20 years. No one else I've ever used has required that. And if there is a discrepancy they make you redo it all over again.

HireRight Review

PROS

I liked the interface that showed me which step I was on in the process.

CONS

The thing I liked the least was how much information I had to enter to complete my background check. I had to enter my last 10 years of residential addresses which took a long time.

Not good option for Startup companies!!!

Overall it's waste of money for the startup companies and very complex in nature as their internal team SLA is 48 hours to enable the reference check itself.

PROS

It has all the possible features for drug/health/criminal records / educational background.

CONS

Long waiting time for most of the tasks specially customer support & enabling the reference checks. I would not recommend this for startup companies.

Reasons for switching to HireRight

We made switch due to organizational changes and company growth.
