We can design custom background checks using GoodHire for any employment type and job function. It streamlines the procedure and offers thorough and effective background checks. When making our hiring decisions, we omitted a lot of information. Using Good Hire makes it easy for me to secure our clients and staff because I appear to acquire information from a variety of sources.
  • It streamlines the background check procedure.
  • Makes it easy for us to secure our clients and staff.
  • We can design custom background checks using GoodHire.
  • The cost of the background check is frequently extremely high.
  • It highlights the tiniest details without taking context into account.
  • If the individual has been globally mobile, the information is not accurate.
After confirming a candidate's information, they marked. The highlighted background checks' suspiciousness was decreased with a bit of additional information and intuition, and they turned out to be fine. Whether it be by email, phone, or chat, their customer care is really helpful. We use Gmail, which is linked to our GoodHire account, and we get answers quickly.
  • Ordering quick and convenient background checks for prospective hires.
  • Being able to set up recurring monthly alerts for every employee.
  • Background checks are sent quite smoothly.
  • Made the onboarding process applicant-friendly.
  • Added an extra layer of security.
  • Helped us protect our client and data.
Because GoodHire and BambooHR, our HRIS, are integrated, I can request a background check without having to log out of what I am doing, and Bamboo is updated as the findings are received. It increases productivity. The time it took to upload new candidates was the key issue that the integration is resolving.

GoodHire is used for both background checks and drug tests for all new employees. As a publicly-traded company, we have an obligation to provide a workplace that is free from drug users and potential individuals with violent crimes in their background. In Human Resources, it's essential that we conduct these checks.
  • Ease of use - very easy to enter in employee data and they find it easy to use.
  • Customer service - when needing something, tends to be very responsive
  • Pricing - cost is similar compared to other background check and drug companies
  • Communication - will not let us know about system outages, issues, and oftentimes we have to follow up with them on issues
  • Special drug tests - for employees that we have a reasonable suspicion may be using drugs and want to get them tested ASAP, the system is slow and not really designed for this.
  • Account Management - very rare for anyone to reach out to us.
I think GoodHire does the basics really well. They're able to provide quality background and drug test services at a reasonably low cost. I do think that they struggle when it comes to on-the-spot drug tests for employees and would not recommend them for instance to a manufacturer where that happens more often than at our business.
  • Timeliness of background checks
  • Overall cost
  • Customer service
  • Positive impact on knowing that we're hiring the right people
  • Cost effective solution
  • Customer service is available through their website chat function
We don't need anything too fancy, and GoodHire provides the basics well. Perhaps as we get larger we may look for another organization due to our overall minor issues, but I don't find a ton of differentiation between various companies. As a result of having a similar product, the cost is the main factor, and GoodHire is competitive.
