HireRight vs. SkillSurvey, now part of the iCIMS Talent Cloud

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

SkillSurvey really is great for reference checks and how to communicate with the contacts provided. It's a great way to easy view the reports, ensure that someone is not filling out their own reference information, and being able to contact passive candidates that have interest in your organization. The templates are easy to generate once you use them a couple times.

• Customer service is very useful and we get a swift response from them.
• It is integrated with our workflow so its easy to set up.
• It creates a record of each employee in the system which makes it simple to store data safely.

• It is very easy to use, so we don't have to spend time training others how to process reference checks.
• SkillSurvey seems to gather many more responses than other vendors used. This is great because it stops us from having to physically call additional references.
• We're able to gather leads from the references who complete the link and opt to be contacted by a recruiter. In the HR/recruitment world, this is seen as free leads!

• 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.

• Cannot be used for all positions

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.

Support is excellent. I have always received swift and efficient assistance.

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.

• 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.

• We're able to collect more references, which allows us to clear candidates to start their jobs quicker.
• The additional leads collected are sent to recruiters who are then able to have more candidates to reach out to for potential future employment.
