Considered Both Products
Checkr
Chose Checkr
We previously used Trusted Employee and it was archaic compared to Checkr. Our main reason for switching over was the integrations aspect.
Chose Checkr
We have not used any services other than Checkr. We started using Checkr over a year ago and have had no need to try other services. Checkr provides us with the services we need in an easy, complete format. Background / Criminal history checking are our primary use of Checkr …
Chose Checkr
The UI was very clean.Its simple and easy to use. I have used a different tool previously but Checkr was faster than the previous tool.

The customer support team is also reliable and very quick to respond.
Chose Checkr
We selected Checkr because our HRIS integrated with it. It also offered better pricing.
Checkr's reports are less detailed than InfoMart but we have confidence they meet any legal ramifications that may arise.
Chose Checkr
Checkr has the ability to run bulk background checks, which GoodHire did not.
Chose Checkr
Checkr integrated with our HRIS platform and automated the process for us.
Chose Checkr
Turn.io and backgroundchecks.com did not have the advanced analytics we needed.
Equifax Workforce Solutions
Chose Equifax Workforce Solutions
Equifax is a more robust platform than most other background screening services
Chose Equifax Workforce Solutions
Gusto is great but Equifax Workforce Solutions really helps us manage payroll, HR, benefits, and other employee needs much more seamlessly. We are so glad we made the transition to this platform as it helps keep us organized even more for all of our employee needs! It's been a …
Chose Equifax Workforce Solutions
We haven't had the experience of using other products similar to Guardian. I have heard of other Early Warning software from other agencies, but they don't seem to do as much as Guardian does for us. With Guardian we are able to acknowledge good performance, track poor and note …

I wouldn't hesitate recommending it to any talent team hiring at scale. We run large scale hiring campaigns for field teams where new sites ramp up, think 50 plus employees. In those case, chekr's ability to launch and track checks in bulk is a lifesaver.

LawLogix Guardian is well suited for companies who want or need to keep digital I-9 records in a safe and convenient place. LawLogix Guardian also keeps you up to date on all compliance practices for the country or state that you're in, ensuring that you stay compliant to the best of your abilities. One scenario where LawLogix falters is a very specific scenario of hiring minors without a Driver's License. In certain states, items such as report cards can be used in lieu of certain identifying documents. However, there is no accommodation for that in the current I-9 form.

Usability
It has plenty of customization that you can do to help with sending information to those who need it rather than to just one person for all things. Allowing for more workflow customization for your organization's needs.

Return on Investment
  • It is sped up our onboarding process quite a bit since background checks now happen at a pretty fast pace.
  • Integration with our ATS has also kept our workflow simple, so my team doesnt need to get training on a separate software and manage multiple logins.
