HireRight vs. Truework

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 However, its UI is outdated, they can update it to improve performance and user friendly.

Truework may not be ideal for companies with a large quantity of complex earning codes, as the code mapping can get messy. We've found some difficulty with finding a solution for international companies we have acquired. Otherwise, Truework has suited us very well, and sends us emails to complete verifications for someone they can't find in the records we've sent over. We utilize a good number of contractors and we've decided not to send that information to Truework, so we always need to do those manually when Truework lets us know the associate in question can't be found.

• 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.

• Turnaround time
• The extra associate authorization step
• The ability to edit and create new letter templates specific to our business needs

• 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.

• Truework was not able to set up a file feed with our HRIS system. The project was very expensive when we worked with our system vendor.
• We are sharing files via SFTP but, all files are not view able after uploading.
• We have outsourced our administrative work but the system is not fully automated. We do need to transfer files via SFTP a couple of times every week.

Always room for improvement that could make the platform a lot more user friendly and easier to navigate

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).

Truework has been recognized by Forbes as a fastest growing company. They are willing to expand their business and build new relationships. During negotiation they gave us a good deal, which shows that they are willing to let the customer evaluate their services over time. The team is also very prompt in responding to questions and proactive in initiating questions for clarification.

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.

We worked with only a few vendors. Truework gave a pretty good deal and we were happy with their sales representative, so it was a clear choice. Some of the things we liked about Truework was that some of its clients had the same HRIS system as ours. The data that they requested in the format was easily admissible. The main factor by far was the price and cost savings.

• 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.

• It has a positive impact on business by quick hiring.
• It has a positive impact on quick verification process.
• Integrated with HR portals like Gusto and Zenefits.
