Checkr vs. SkillSurvey, now part of the iCIMS Talent Cloud

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.

SkillSurvey really is great for reference checks and how to communicate with the contacts provided. It's a great way to easy view the reports, ensure that someone is not filling out their own reference information, and being able to contact passive candidates that have interest in your organization. The templates are easy to generate once you use them a couple times.

• It can be difficult to get support when you do have an issue.
• Account manager is not as attentive as we would like.

• Customizability is lacking, you have to choose from job titles that are already stored in the tool. Some clients don't like this.
• There is no option for someone to opt to do the reference via phone, this could prevent someone from completing the reference.

There are more affordable options out there but checkr is reliable and it definitely an easy premium to pay for the reliability

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.

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

I've used a few other reference checking vendors, as well as have references completed through background checking vendors, and our company even tried to create our own reference tool. SkillSurvey is the best we've used yet. They gather the greatest percentage of references, quickly, and with the least amount of "technical issues". Again, the leads are also a bonus.

• 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.

Incentivized

• The feature to ask references if they would like to be contacted to no prove to be useful or worth the added expense.
• Cannot bulk files
• Quick turnaround time, which is helpful in picking candidates
