User Testimonials
	GoodHire	HireRight
Likelihood to Recommend	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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 However, its UI is outdated, they can update it to improve performance and user friendly. Incentivized Shivam Sharma Consultant Read full review
Pros	Ease of use - very easy to enter in employee data and they find it easy to use. Customer service - when needing something, tends to be very responsive Pricing - cost is similar compared to other background check and drug companies Incentivized TN Tom Nemcek Human Resources Director Read full review	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	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. Incentivized Tiffany Stallings Office/Human Resources Coordinator 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.

Likelihood to Renew	Very dependable and thorough Incentivized TB Tanya Burgess Medical Staff Coordinator Read full review	There have been no issues with this vendor.

Usability	No answers on this topic	Always room for improvement that could make the platform a lot more user friendly and easier to navigate Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Haven't had any issues with Goodhire's customer support. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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). Incentivized Krista-erika Lopez HR Coordinator Read full review
Alternatives Considered	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 that the integration is resolving. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	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. Incentivized JH Jordan Heard Office and People Operations Manager 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. Daniel Hartmann Employee Services Supervisor Read full review
