    Accurate Background
    Very well suited for our company because of their pricing, reliability, speed, detail, and user experience. I don't think there are any scenarios where Accurate wouldn't work for a business

    HireVue
    HireVue was very well suited for my interviewing process with my current company for both my initial hire and my lateral move within the organization. It was very convenient given where I am geographically located to interview with our corporate office in Rhode Island. It provided the convenience of interviewing remotely for the opening posted.

    HireVue
    • It allows candidates to be recorded answering some initial interview questions and eliminates the need for recruiters or hiring manager to get on the phone or meet with them live.
    • It stores the video interviews in a manner that is easy to do, use, and recover.
    • It's also great to be able to record these interviews and then they can be shared with others on the team as needed for panel interview purposes, etc.

    Cons
    Accurate Background
    • The screening process on the US side took 4+ months to be implemented even though there was no specific request or difficulty on our side: we have a very basic need that Accurate Background is supposed to be implementing easily.
    • Twice in the past Accurate Background's reports have shown blank records ... for people with a criminal history.
    • I receive on a regular basis from Accurate services emails asking for more information. But sometimes this email is not for me but for the candidate. And you never know what complementary information is required. You just receive an email stating "we need more information". You have to chase them to know what they need.
    • I have recently received a message stating that a search is complete. When you open the record, you realize the search has been abandoned. There is a sentence at the end of it stating that you have received an email from their services.... when you have received nothing.
    • All the above shows that there is minimum interaction with real people from their services, that their automatic messages are not complete nor accurate, and that their search results just cannot be trusted.

    • We have experienced some technical issues with the Live Interview feature. A lot of time it is because the user's computer settings are not set up correctly.
    • They are working on adding a feature that will allow you to edit the email templates. Hoping for this to be released soon as it is nice to have different communications sent out for different cites around the globe.
    • Customized CodeVues can be difficult to set up. Recommend having a technical employee help out with this. Would like to see more CodeVue questions added to the Question Library.

    The company is currently looking into other ATS systems, with that we aren't sure the need to continue to use HireVue.

    Because it's pretty much a "plug and play" solution.

    Accurate is much better. The most thorough background check company I have ever used.

    Gray Peak doesn't even compare to HireVue. Where I think Gray Peak is a 2 or 3 out of 10, I am absolutely convinced that HireVue is a 10! Yes there are probably some tweaks for HireVue but this product is truly amazing. It impresses me each day with the volume that we are able to put through and how it is a complete convenience for ALL parties involved in the process

    • Time to fill has been reduced/ shortened since we are able to screen more candidates quicker.
    • Time to schedule has been shortened as candidates are able to self-schedule their own interviews with a hiring manager; no more chasing people through phone calls to coordinate multiple schedules.
    • Candidate reach has been greatly enhanced - we can reach more candidates than we ever could with traditional phone screening.
