Overall Satisfaction with GoodHire

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I run and manage STEM education programs with high school students that revolve around mentorship. To have adults connect with minors, a background check tool is a critical element. GoodHire is built into the API of our mentoring platform, the Mentor Matching Engine, and we run our 500+ mentors through the platform each year (we run annual background checks). Without a background check tool that is integrated into our platform, we wouldn't be able to run out programs, so it is an essential part of our programs.

Likelihood to Recommend

GoodHire is great for quick, accurate, automated background checks for employees or those needing a background check to perform a volunteer or other service. It is an intuitive process, and it's efficiently quick so it doesn't hold up your hiring or volunteer process. GoodHire is particularly useful for those who need to run background checks on any employees or volunteers as it organizes the checks, and can perform many checks at once. They're probably less useful for those who only need one to two checks or don't need it to be automated through a platform.
