Checkr
Chose Checkr
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.
Chose Checkr
Checkr integrated with our HRIS platform and automated the process for us.
HireRight
Chose HireRight
HireRight is easier to use and had faster results. I have also had less issues on the candidate side when it comes to them completing the electronic release form or disputing an adverse action decision.
Chose HireRight
Because of the integration option, it is easy to setup compared to its alternative. The hiring process is very easy and it keeps the records of every employee safely. It provides scalability and flexibility so cost can be reduced and the number of customization options provided …

Checkr
Checkr is streamlining and automating the background check process, which is a tremendous benefit for a small HR team who typically doesn't have the bandwidth to manually conduct education verifications or criminal searches, but hires in a massive scale. Checkr nicely integrates with my ATS, Payroll, and security monitoring platform for SOC 2 compliance, making things more efficient, especially with a small HR team. Ordering background checks takes only a couple of clicks.

HireRight's background checking has some improvements and could hold some more historical data more than 150 days. We have had employees move from one jobsite to the other for this client and we can't look up if they have had a background check done through HireRight before if it is more than 150 days, so we end up ordering another one and duplicate/pay for extra background checks

  • HireRight is good platform which provides great support on verification process.
  • I would request to speed up the verification cycle as it takes more than 2 weeks for completion of verification process. Where in mine was rejected at first time and again it took 1 more weeks for providing final confirmation. Request to reduce this time.

Usability
Checkr
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.

Checkr
They answered our questions when we were integrating and got back to us quickly, and with the relevant information we needed.

Front line support, which is what our users are forced to deal with, rarely offers timely and acceptable solutions. To get good results, I often have to escalate issues to our account manager (who is wonderful). It seems as though any support request that is handled through normal channels takes far too long to be completed.

Alternatives Considered
Checkr
We have not used any services other than Checkr. We started using Checkr over a year ago and have had no need to try other services. Checkr provides us with the services we need in an easy, complete format. Background / Criminal history checking are our primary use of Checkr and it provides these seamlessly.

I enjoy HireRight much more as I am able to have more customizable features in the application as well as run reports that allow me to have increased efficiency in the hire process and know where all employees are in the process at any point in time. We selected HireRight due to these features as well as the decreased licensing cost.

Return on Investment
Checkr
  • 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.

  • HireRight is a Pay as You Go platform, so there are no long-term contracts to worry about. We customized our template for the information we consistently need and fill in the demographics. I would say that the ROI is 100% - we have been able to vet out the less desirable candidates based on some of the information.
