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.
HireRight
Chose HireRight
HireRight is easier to use and had faster results. I have also had less issues on the candidate side when it comes to them completing the electronic release form or disputing an adverse action decision.
Chose HireRight
HireRight is not on the same level as One Source Background Checks. They provide more detailed reports and background check history. They are able to customize your background checks. They also integrate well with our ATS. One Source also holds background check data on file for …
Chose HireRight
I enjoy HireRight much more as I am able to have more customizable features in the application as well as run reports that allow me to have increased efficiency in the hire process and know where all employees are in the process at any point in time. We selected HireRight due …
Chose HireRight
Because of the integration option, it is easy to setup compared to its alternative. The hiring process is very easy and it keeps the records of every employee safely. It provides scalability and flexibility so cost can be reduced and the number of customization options provided …
Chose HireRight
We have not used any other products that HireRight. Our company tends to stay with the sources, software, and/or companies that works for us. Since HireRight has worked for us, we have not tried another source.
Chose HireRight
We used vectorvms for resume submission for the state client contract requirements we will get from the State of Ohio,Ma,VA,Ga and Iowa .Vectorvms is very easy to use software and used by multiple MSP for its program statewide
Chose HireRight
My company wanted to change who did our background checks after the equifax hack, and this forced us to try a new vendor and HireRight was the first one we came across that we ultimately picked. Why we picked them initially was due to the automation, the cost, the customer …
Chose HireRight
HireRight is much better than the competition when it comes to price.
Chose HireRight
We used another background check company through Paychex. Both companies had the same features. We now use HireRight because it is incorporated with our ADP package.
Chose HireRight
We initially selected HireRight on a trial basis. Their pricing structure, their response time, and the quality of their reports convinced us to stay with them. I would highly recommend them.
Chose HireRight
First Advantage had me all over the screen trying to figure out how to maneuver around there website. I still haven't completely figured it out. While HireRight was easy to use and self explanatory. I've been using HireRight for so long now adjusting my eyes to any different …
Chose HireRight
We selected HireRight because it does what we need, usually in a timely manner for a fair price. We use other programs when it is required for a specific project and must be used.
Chose HireRight
We haven't implemented I-9 yet but plan to in the future. This will make it so that I-9s and backgrounds reports can be stored in one place.
Chose HireRight
................ ..... ........ .......
Chose HireRight
They are the market leader and essentially there are only 2 other companies in the world that can meet out program requirements.
Chose HireRight
I have worked with over 20 background vendors, and believe HireRight is somewhere in the middle of the pack. My colleagues have had more hands-on experience with them lately, and have informed me things are getting better when it comes to verifications and customer service. …
Chose HireRight
The ease of the Tenstreet website is better, the one touch reports makes things so much simpler for us.
Chose HireRight
We have used 2 or 3 other background check companies and I like HireRight because they are the easiest to get in touch with someone when any help is needed. The website is user friendly and you can easily check what is pending, what is completed, etc., across users. They are …
Chose HireRight
We use Supervision for MVR checks. HireRight also will return information to confirm if it was a serious incident. This helps to make sure things match up.
Chose HireRight
We have utilized First Advantage in the past and the issues were with using a paper process, the HR team needing to input all of the potential new hire's information, and long delays in turn around times on applicant screens. With HireRight, they have removed these obstacles …
Chose HireRight
I do not want to name drop the vendor we used previously, but when we were evaluating new solutions, HireRight was the only option we seriously considered. A big part of our decision to go with HireRight was that it integrated nicely with our applicant tracking system, which …

It was the only product we used.

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.

We needed more security as far as hiring new people was concerned. HireRight becomes the right candidate for this position. The best thing about this is partnered with HR services and integrations with other tools that make it easy to keep records and set up. However, its UI is outdated, they can update it to improve performance and user friendly.

  • We've never had an issue with integration, this seems to be working well. It's a strength because we can't afford time lost on IT issues.
  • It is nice that they have an online instant chat function, for when we need answers ASAP, so we can continue with the process and appease our customers
  • The background checks themselves are aesthetically pleasing, which makes it easier to review results.

Cons
  • It can be difficult to get support when you do have an issue.
  • Account manager is not as attentive as we would like.
Read full review
  • Customer Service. They lack here. It takes too long to resolve issues, especially with your assigned account manager. I have to continue to ask for an update and sometimes, I do not get a response back.
  • Back Up Account Managers - The account manager you are assigned may not be available. We need to be provided a list of people we can contact in the event that our POC in unavailable.

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.

They answered our questions when we were integrating and got back to us quickly, and with the relevant information we needed.

There are various ways you are able to call HireRight. They do have busy times and so the live chat is helpful because you are able to leave the chat open until an agent is available (and do work than being tied to a phone).

HireRight is not on the same level as One Source Background Checks. They provide more detailed reports and background check history. They are able to customize your background checks. They also integrate well with our ATS. One Source also holds background check data on file for 2 years. We also use them for an OSCC contractor certifier, which I don't think HireRight does.

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.
Read full review
  • Improved candidate experience. Our process is now more modern and appealing to candidates, as well as easier to complete.
  • Pre-employment screening times have improved, reducing our time to hire. This helps us get new hires onboarded and working faster, which is a win for our new hires and our location managers.
  • Online document retention keeps confidential information secure, and reduces the paperwork and clutter we are forced to manage on-site.
