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.
GoodHire
Chose GoodHire
Because GoodHire and BambooHR, our HRIS, are integrated, I can request a background check without having to log out of what I am doing, and Bamboo is updated as the findings are received. It increases productivity. The time it took to upload new candidates was the key issue …
Chose GoodHire
GoodHire and Good Egg are excellent online background check platforms, both offer comprehensive background checks and reports,They also offer simple, easy-to-use interfaces that allow us to quickly gather information about potential employees or customers.Both platforms offer …
Chose GoodHire
GoodHire was our go-to for a long time, and will always stand out to me as an excellent vendor. We had to move on however, when our needs changed and we required bulk background checks which they could not provide. Otherwise, I think Goodhire does a fantastic job and makes for …
Chose GoodHire
Our previous vendor had slow turn around times, often we would see background checks taking weeks to return results to us. We would also note discrepancies in state compliance and have to point them out to be addressed by their system. Good Hire seems to be more compliant with …
Chose GoodHire
Other products are similar but none offered the same level of comprehensive background checks at the same cost. Likewise, GoodHire produced a much faster turn-around time on results than competitors. That said, the hounding from the company was a detractor and we would …
Chose GoodHire
GoodHire has much better ATS integration, and way less data entry for the company's portion. It also allows candidates to see their own reports directly, instead of requesting a copy from us/the company, which is especially helpful an less messy if there is an alert that needs …
Chose GoodHire
GoodHire has been the only service we have used for company background checks and ongoing alerts and it has been great so far! We have not had any reason to check into any other services.
Chose GoodHire
We don't need anything too fancy, and GoodHire provides the basics well. Perhaps as we get larger we may look for another organization due to our overall minor issues, but I don't find a ton of differentiation between various companies. As a result of having a similar …
Chose GoodHire
I don't recall the name of the other company I used in the past but it was much less detailed and organized when it comes to the delivery of information on the background checks.

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

GoodHire is well suited for those who need to run quick background checks and want the results neatly laid out and summarized. It's good for running one-off background checks, and having the ability to cancel/update them as you see fit. It's perfect if you want to connect it to your HRIS system as well.
It's not ideal for those who need to run a large amount of background checks at one time.

  • It can be difficult to get support when you do have an issue.

  • I would prefer that you enter the employee or person's information first and then be taken to the area where you "pay".
  • If the SSN isn't a match it would be nice to have the opportunity to re-check or update the information vs having to pay for a new BC all over again.

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.

  • There has not been anything I have disliked so far. It is a great thing to use.
  • The ongoing alerts have been a positive thing to be able to rely on.
  • It has been positive that we can order background checks and get the results quickly. Generally in about 3 days. You get to build your own specific background check you would like and choose from various things.
