    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

    1) Easy system for both users - I can get a quick turnaround when I interview a volunteer and they need to be screened before a training.

    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 are happy with what the program does for us and how it alerts us if a volunteer candidate has been thoroughly screened. It is a helpful system and user friendly

    Verified First is available when I need it. Today it was giving me a white out screen on the Bloomerang platform and I had to login through the website. This was the only time I have had a problem pulling up the system ad I am glad I can login another way.

    Verified First's performance is reasonably quick. The turnaround time to process an applicant's background check is timely and efficient. I am also aware of where we are in the process. This is helpful and I can get candidates screen in time for an upcoming training which is important. This is why I gave it the rating that I did.

    Initially, we had great support from the start through Verified First. When I had some questions a few months in, it seemed to take a longer time getting answers so it was unclear who I go to for system support. There should be a chat feature in the system that I can ask questions. I had questions regarding social security cards and it took a few days to get an answer. If reps change, it would be good to know that in advance.

    It was helpful to have calls with the customer rep and be able to ask any questions before we implemented the system. I thought he was thorough and I liked the way we could create an order within the Bloomerang Volunteer system and the user would be notified at the same time. That was helpful

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

    I can see where the system can be scaled. We have not needed to scale the program as there is only 1-2 managers who need to run reports. If there was a need to scale, other users could access the system, and we could train them internally. Our organization is small and does not have multiple departments or sites where we would need to roll this out at a larger scale

    Return on Investment
    Accurate Background
    • Our turn around time has decreased by half as far as complete background checks are concerned. This allows us to keep our candidates and improve their experience.
    • We averaged a savings of over $2,000/year thanks to Accurate's ability to create customized packages.
