    I was looking for something that was easy to use and affordable. GoodHire served the purpose and things worked out well with them. The only thing is, I needed to do an international background check on one of my employees that lives in Mexico, and I don’t think they offered that at the time. Other than that, I’ve recommended them.

    I'm an HR manager and I do all the background checks. We have been using a company called HireRight. Their turnaround time, however, was really slow and they were expensive. So I started to research a few companies and GoodHire was definitely in the top five. I went and did a little research and it was down to two different companies. I liked GoodHire’s prices and customer support the best so we just went forward with it. GoodHire has been fantastic. Using them has been very smooth and anytime I've had questions, contacting Dory has been very smooth and very helpful. She's even willing to send me a spreadsheet where she runs all the background checks, which was great.

    Candidate I am interviewing admitted to a DUI. GoodHire was not report it in the "Traffic Violations Search" result. When I asked the CSR why, he explained Traffic Violations Search does not check any department of motor vehicle (DMV) records; rather, it only contains traffic issues reported to the National Criminal Databases. If you want DMV data, you "need to pay extra." I think this is misleading.

We strive to clearly communicate what is included in each background check on our website, and you can always contact us directly to discuss which packages best fit your employment screening needs.

    The company I use at our previous job was just more detailed. But we don't go that far when we do a background check here, so I have not utilized that part. Our GoodHire system will go back as far as 10 AM and what it does right now for us is fine. When we request information we have to wait for the person to respond and it doesn't work as well for us. We just need the information, so having the personnel waiting puts the delay on things but other than that the fight is different. We don't have any issues.

GoodHire was able to provide the information that we needed and gave us different options as to how detailed we wanted to go, and they were reasonably priced too. We had to enter some basic information in the system and then, we had to provide an email address for the employee, who would get information that they would then approve so that we can continue with the process. In fact, we did request driving record inquiry on one of our potential employees and GoodHire identified some information for us that was crucial to our hiring decision in the capacity that they were being hired for.

For the first time, I utilized one of their background checks. It was an extended background check of educational and more county-related checks and they had hidden costs to do it. I talked to them about it but the charges were not from the but the schools. They charge $17 to give the information. It was like a third-party cost that wasn’t very clear.

Moreover, every time I call customer service and tell them the problem that we’ve been having, they’re really good about getting us responses and helping us. And they’re very detailed. We’ve had a couple of issues with some background checks that take too long and they’ve been really good about giving us information about the background that we can’t see. Background checks take about three business days but right now we’re still waiting on one that has been going on for a month. Delays are usually caused by double-checking with the different counties that the person may have lived in. But overall we’ve had really a good experience with GoodHire.

    GoodHire is a good company and their rates are reasonable. Their customer service representative made everything understandable and got me a plan together and submitted it to me. And I liked it, so I accepted it. Using GoodHire to run background checks is a matter of logging on to my account, putting all the added information in that I need to put in there, and then waiting for the result. And if an employee is clear, it takes 5 to 15 minutes. The delay comes into play if they find something wrong with the employee I’ve added. It takes them longer to look and get the result and everything. As far as getting the results back, GoodHire has a faster turnaround than the company I was using before. The system works great.

    I’ve been at my current company for six months but I have had previous experience with other companies about background check service. This company wasn't really using any system and so, I put in GoodHire when I started working here and started using it mid-December. I especially like GoodHire's identity verification because it's one app on several of our other providers and they don’t all offer that. Everything seems to run smoothly and no issues except the slowness of the backgrounds in coming back. I’m on the sixth day waiting for a couple of it right now.

    I have a coworker who also uses the system with me, and we both noticed that things get hung up in it. One day, I called GoodHire because it was taking so long for a background to get back and I was told that they’re reviewed before they’re posted. That review process sometimes takes a little bit longer and that’s where it’s getting hung up. I’m getting a lot of complaints from my hiring managers too about the time that it’s taking so it’s a big concern for us. It happened twice, but they're very responsive whenever I call and email them. I'm fairly pleased with them.

    I was researching background check companies and checking into them when I talked to one of GoodHire's salespeople. I liked what I heard and their pricing was good. In the beginning, I talked to Chad, the sales guy. He was very fluid and took care of everything. We set it up in the beginning because we needed to do all the employees and get ourselves caught up to pace. I put together a spreadsheet and sent it to him. We put it under one company that I ran three companies off. He loaded it in. Thereafter, I just put a code next to each one so I knew which center was in the background, so I could charge the center the correct amount of money.

    Since then, using their service has been easy. I just plug in the numbers and go from there. Once I’ve set up the link, then it’s relatively easy to put in. I’m familiar with how these things work so I'm comfortable with it. While billing has been relatively simple, the problem that we have from the point of view of franchise operations is that I can’t negotiate for all of the franchisees in the area as bulk-billing because of the way the consumer background is set up. It’s gonna be with the individual business. That’s a bit of an impediment because normally when I do something like this, I would do it for the whole area. I also talked to the franchise about whether or not we should do it for the country. Nevertheless, I’ve told each of the other franchisees that GoodHire is a good company and that they should talk to Chad.

    I was trying to find a company that was more economical in doing background checks because we have a high turnover rate and I've just set up an account with GoodHire. So far, our interactions with the customer service reps at GoodHire have been pretty good. But I'm still confused and unsure about the national background database. If I'm going to accounting, that's where the cost is mainly poor and it varies, depending on where I go. But when it comes to a national database search, every place is a lot cheaper, so it might not be that accurate. The background check is complicated and I'd like to know how accurate GoodHire's system is, what it services, and how it compares or differs with something that always has options to choose from, like adding different points of search such as a Social Security trace.

    We were trying to find a background check service company and GoodHire came up in several Google recommendations. Our dealings with them have all been online and I haven't had to call anybody there. I submitted everything online, then we got the answers back. The process of utilizing GoodHire to run a background check was super easy. The only thing was that we had to send out an email to the applicants and they had to verify if the report was okay before it would be issued. Sometimes, if they didn't check their email or it went to their spam folder, we didn't get a quick enough response.

    But that should have been something that we were taking care of before we initiated a contact appointment with them. When they applied for a job with us, they allowed us to gather information on them as long as it was upfront with them. We could possibly have run a background check to get to a point and there shouldn't have been second and third consent forms waiting.

    An IR is social security information in the DMV record and looking into it isn't criminal. We are an auto company, so we would like to make sure that our employees are able to drive and there is no social security issue for which we can't hire them.

Our users may not have been aware that they needed to check their Social Security card to make sure they enter their name exactly as it appears on their card, as most of our employees are from other countries. I think GoodHire take for granted that most Americans know what their name is on their card, but if you're an immigrant, you might have three last names and maybe only one of them's on the card. That was the only reason I've had to contact customer service. They could use a little bit more on-boarding training for the people who will be utilizing the service. But for the most part, GoodHire has been pretty good.

    We’ve been using GoodHire. We had been using another background check service provider before, then we switched to GoodHire mainly because the reports from the other company weren’t coming back accurately. GoodHire can miss a few things sometimes, but otherwise they're fairly good. We just have them fill out the form, including the consent, and all that’s gonna go through. Using their software, it's easy putting in information, as with most programs that I have used in the past, so user experience is easy. Usually, it takes two days on the average to get a background check from GoodHire.

    I researched on background check services and GoodHire had great reviews for small companies like ours. It’s the first background check service provider we;ve used and it’s a pleasant experience with them. Using them to run a background check is very easy, simple to use, and intuitive. And whenever I need to speak with someone on the customer service side, they are always quick and super accessible. The system met our expectations and it was 100% excellent. It would be awesome though if GoodHire do international background checks too. It’s not something that's done currently and it's difficult given international laws but given that the platform is so straightforward and wonderful to use domestically, I would appreciate it and I'm a customer for it.

    Overall GoodHire is a decent service. But the thing that frustrates me most about it is that I don’t have a lot of control over being able to resend something. For example, if a candidate says, “Hey, I never received that email from GoodHire.” I have to physically call. I can’t just log into the account and make sure that it was sent to the right email. It won’t even show me what email it was sent to. So I have to call a customer service representative anytime. I have to do almost anything once they’ve submitted the request for a background check.

    Also you can’t get the result like if my HR assistant is the one that actually requests it, it sends her the email that says, “It’s finished.” So I don’t get a notification when it’s finished even though I’m the one who needs to know. I’m the recruiter so I'm the one who keeps track of it but you can’t have it sent to multiple emails. We called and asked and they said, “No, sorry.” There’s lots of different background companies you can go with and we don’t have a reason to leave GoodHire. So we’re satisfied but there’s definitely some things that we think could use improvement.

    GoodHire is prompt and it gets us the information that we need. I've been with the company since September, and they've been using it ever since I've been here -- the owner got it implemented for us. They are great and we are happy with the service. We use Lever and it's linked into our Lever system. And all we had to do is press the button, and then it starts to run it from there. And then we get email notifications when they are working on it. They email us when they're still trying to get a few things from the candidate, so they're always keeping us updated. And then they let us know when the report's ready to view.

    To complete the processes, it is pretty immediate, within 24 hours, unless there's an issue with the candidate getting them the information. The candidate has to be responsive to them as well. When I first started, I would reach out to them for questions and they were very prompt to get back to me. And the account rep always checked in to make sure that everything was going okay, if we have any questions. It is efficient and it makes our life easier from the HR perspective for sure.

It would be helpful to give our employees an answer faster especially when people are trying to look for multiple options.

    GoodHire is way better than other services I've used before. Like with Intelius, you would pay 50 bucks and sometimes, they would not even have the data. There was no way to look up from social security number. You would have to submit a name and sometimes, they would ask for a phone number. And there was no direct way to directly submit information or whatever they were asking for. But with GoodHire, I don’t even need to do any of those. I just need to send the email of the person that I’m running a background check of and the candidate can then go and fill that information himself.

    It is super easy and even a candidate can see what is wrong with his report rather than just me seeing it. So it’s helpful for not just the employer, but I think as a person. If I’m not hiring that guy, at least he will know what is there on his report. It’s pretty open and transparent. I always talk to one of the ladies and she’s very responsive, even the account set-up.

    This is my second time using GoodHire. On my last company, I was challenged with the background check system then I demoed about three systems and I preferred GoodHire to both, so I chose it. My experience was much better with them than any other system I had worked for and we never changed, but they were all pretty solvable. When I came to my last company, they weren’t using a system, so I took on that project again and had such a good experience with them the last time that I demoed two systems so that my co-worker could have a comparison and we went with GoodHire again.

    I look for the user interface, ease of use, ease of viewing the results, and ease of understanding when something gets flagged. I also look for how proactive GoodHire is in solving up discrepancies or if there is something missing with an employee. I’ve used this one in the past where say a different type of signature was needed by the employee. They wouldn’t reach out proactively and wouldn’t reach out to the employee or myself. I would just see that the background check wasn’t done. I’d go in to figure out why. I see that this is required. They would send me a very complicated form that I had to then explain to the employee and the whole thing was very delayed and very counter-intuitive and required a lot of proactive monitoring on my part and that is not the case with GoodHire.

    The only two issues we’ve had so far were when the prices were very different from what we saw than what they were once they started to come in. So I followed up with their account manager and she explained that recently a lot of universities have taken on additional background check fees that were enormous estimates, which was fine. There was another time where we didn’t get a notification of why there was a delay from the company and she followed up. Anytime I have had a question, my account rep was always very responsive. I recommend GoodHire.

I go to the website as the administrator and I choose what test I want to purchase. I have to pay for it first and I can add things using the menu, but I don’t usually do that. Then it brings me to a screen where I pick whether the candidate is going to fill out the information themselves or someone else is. I pick the candidate all the time then I put the candidate’s full name and then their email address, and hit “Go.”

    I get updates on my email like how you track packages with UPS, letting me know what stage in the process the background check is in. It also lets me know when it’s done and when the applicant has filled out their part. It works seamlessly. The only bug that happens is that the initial email goes to spam filters 75 percent of the time so I always have to tell the applicant to look in their spam filter.

    Also, the company ran a background check on me and I had to administrate that. There was a little bit of awareness when I came to the website. I had to figure out whether I log in as a corporate administrator or as myself. If I had logged as myself then I would go see my own background check. There are separate logins and permissions but you can get confused before you realize that you don’t know which one you’re in. But it’s only because I’m the administrator and an employee, and that’s a rare use case. The signage could be improved, either by changing the colors or doing something that it makes it different a little bit.

    We were searching for companies that did background checks and we didn’t like what we saw, so we opted to go with GoodHire because of the combination of the price, what was offered, and the quickness of their response. They were very straightforward and easy to figure out for somebody that had not been in there prior, and the information that was required was relatively minimal. We just had to provide an email address and a name, and everything else was handled after we paid. They were the ones that reached out to the potential employee and asked for some more non-public information.

    Once that was provided, they proceeded with the background check and all was smooth from there. GoodHire has a reasonable cost, I don’t have to gather any non-public information from our potential hires, the response is detailed and everything is available online. Prior to using them, we had a co-employer and they were the ones that managed background checks for us. GoodHire meets and exceeds expectations. Plus, updating the company’s address was simple and straightforward, and the agent I spoke with held my problem quickly.

    We were working with another company called Breezy and they're integrated with GoodHire, so we began researching them as well as some additional background check providers and ended up going with GoodHire. Their sales rep, when we initially reached out, was very responsive. He made himself available anytime we wanted to book a call. From there, going through the MSA agreement and getting all the contract signed was a really easy experience. Their employers and customer support rep were also very responsive. Moreover, the customer service rep was available just about any time we needed her to be.

    Compared to our old provider, GoodHire is a lot more automated and have a lot more features. So far, we're still in development and setting up the integration, but they stepped us through a demo and it was great. We're based out in Louisiana so they demoed via video conference. Everything that we needed them to do, they did extremely quickly. They're constantly checking in with me to see how the progress is going with our engineers and with the Breezy integration. We're also building an LMS system and, although we preferred to do it ourselves, they were willing to write up training guides for our team that are specific to our account, not just general GoodHire training, which was generous. Their pricing is highly competitive and they have a great support team. I would highly recommend them to anyone else.

But I have gotten a ton of checks and the process is fairly easy. They’ve got some pre-packaged things that fit what most employers are looking for. And I was also able to initially set up some packages that I would be running more than once with their customer service. They also assigned me a designated person as my escalated support rep so if anything became very important, I can reach out quickly and that has been easy and smooth.

    I've been in the tax business for 27 years and a couple of background check providers I had used were satisfactory, did good work and did the follow-up but they're out of business now. The franchise made a recommendation but it was supposed to have been around $25. I put one in just to run it through and check it and the flag came up on it. They were charging me $175 for it so that didn't last long. So, I went internet shopping and I ended up with GoodHire. There was nothing positive about the interactions I had with their customer service. Part of it was that they were not accessible on the weekend. And for the type of transaction I had, the weekend was my most opportune time. When I was calling on a Saturday morning, I wouldn’t hear about it 'till Monday afternoon.

    Then, we had problems getting into the systems. I input 18 employees to run a check on but instead of saying it will have the background check in 24 hours that I've been used to, there was a flag that indicated it could be 15 days which was not satisfactory. I called them and they said they got a new system, and if I’ll input it and send it to them, they’ll do it and get it taken care of. That did not happen. I was really busy at the time but a week into it, I called a week and got the runaround. And at that point, they had done one of 15 or 20.

    I called back after another week to tell them to forget about it, cancel the order and that I'll find somebody that can do it. And they put me through three reams of paperwork to even cancel the order. Also, they gave me another number and downloaded me to somebody else which was on Pacific time. I was waking somebody up at 7:30 in the morning and it wasn’t a pleasant conversation with her or me. Then yesterday, I got an invoice from GoodHire for $22.

    GoodHire's process for a background check is easy. However, there were a couple sticky points where GoodHire's contact said one thing but their language and agreement said another. I'm a contractor so I don't work directly with GoodHire, and one of the communication pitfalls that we had was the terminology of “trial”. My client thought it was a free trial and she just did not understand. When using the term trial, it usually refers to a free trial and you're not being charged. But I explained that they would be charged with each person that they submitted to. Also, there was another different verbiage where it was not supposed to be a contract but then in the verbiage of the agreement, it referred to it as a contract. My client pointed it out, too. So, she was reluctant to sign a contract.

    Other than those, I've been happy so far with GoodHire giving an email saying that the person responded to the authorization form and that it started. But, GoodHire should be more realistic with their timeframe on the website because they have standard background check which is one to three days. And if you go to any company, education, or employment, you're going to get it maybe in one week. So, their time frame would be more realistic if it would be three to five days because they've been good about hitting the five-day mark but not the three days. Overall, my experience has been positive. I have had excellent customer service and then they let me know when the check is done. So, they were communicating every step of the way.

It's super easy to use and they can do everything online. We don't have to interact with people, which is what we had to do previously, so that streamlines us a lot. They're also going to set up an additional system, which is going to be really valuable to us, where we do ongoing IG background checks on our staff. It's an automated process, which will be another labor-saving solution. I'm really happy with what they're doing.

    I've talked with their customer service team a couple of times. They were knowledgeable and helpful. Earlier on, I asked them questions in and around the frequency of activity as well as some of the requirements that they had to set us up with the clients. I also asked if they wanted business licenses and other things. GoodHire is efficient in what they do and very accurate. They're also prompt.

    We were trying to transition from BambooHR, the PEO that we're working with, and we were using a background check place through them. I had to find a new one to work with once we were done with the relationship so I went through BambooHR’s affiliates and partners and I found GoodHire. They were perfect since they work with BambooHR.

    GoodHire is fantastic and their customer service team is awesome. The lady I worked with to find an actual account rep was always checking in to make sure everything is cool. Then the account rep helped me set everything up in no time. It was seamless. I was sent the instructions and we have a login. The account rep was also always available and I had all my questions answered as well.

    I have used GoodHire twice since we set up the account. The interface is really nice, clean and modern, while the one we used before wasn't. Also, it's straightforward and easy to understand. It was just a matter of sending them the person in the email, and then they would take care of getting me information for a moment and would just let me know when it was ready. And that's when I would take a look at it and tell the account rep, "Okay. It's good to go." And that was it. GoodHire was cheaper too.

    I just got hired where I'm working at and they were already using GoodHire. It's very simple and very user-friendly. You just click "run background" and purchase it. And when purchasing, you have options and you can pick whichever you want to add. You can edit the purchasing option so if you don't like a driver's license or, for example, a drug screen, you can close out. You put the person's first and last names, and click purchase. Then you wait until everything clears on the applicant's part. I like calling and talking to GoodHire's customer service agents. I can do the life check on their website but usually, I put my number in and they call me right away and their customer service is great. GoodHire definitely meets the expectations, and I would suggest that others go through them for any background screen.

    We are a newer home care company. We went and looked around for some reviews, and we went through what other people's experiences were with GoodHire. When I first started using them, it was a little bit confusing. It may have been because nobody walked me through it initially. But after that initial experience, they have had easy access to customer service. They have a specific person who I have contact with, and if I have any questions, I can direct them to this particular person. He cleared up any confusion that I had, and since then, it's been a breeze. He also gets back to me immediately so it's been a great experience. Even the fees that they charge were, compared to other companies, really good.

    I would definitely tell others that GoodHire's customer service is the best. Any company can be great, but when you get to the customer service aspect, it can change your opinion entirely, and that's what the selling point for me was. If I would've had the complications that I had initially and didn't have such good customer service experience just with the contact person, it would've turned me off and I probably would've changed companies. But because GoodHire gets back to you so quickly and are really on top of things, it makes everything much more pleasurable.

    GoodHire is awesome and the system does what we’re looking for. They partner with a bunch of different recruiting apps and it’s one of the only ones that have all these integrations. We use some of those other apps and GoodHire is also unique in that they are specific towards recruiting. But sometimes, it’s confusing with things getting held up in processing, which is the only downside. Something would get held for review then it will say an expected date but usually it’s never on that day. Then for some reason in the system, it doesn’t register and you have to call to find out what’s going on. But when it’s not held up, it’s usually really fast.

    Someone within our network referred GoodHire to us and I had a straightforward experience with them. I input the credit card information and they have a basic template where I enter the name and the email address of the candidate that’s being considered. And then it sends them an email. There are two options but we always use the option where we have them fill out their own information. But the one thing that is a little inconsistent is the timing in which the full reports are completed. It can be anywhere from a couple of days to weeks to even a month. Also, for a particular county, you have to pay an additional fee to access those reports. I assume that this is something that is a standard across the board no matter which background check company people would use.

    There were a couple of instances where it took a little longer than expected to get the results. But GoodHire's customer service was very accommodating. They credited us five free reports for the one issue that we had. GoodHire is very valuable and we partially base our hiring decisions on that. The reporting has been pretty helpful.

    Across my career, we’ve used several background check companies. With GoodHire, I like that they have a webpage and it gives me an opportunity to pay online. It seems a bit more interactive. I can tailor the screen to what I need. And before, it was really all kind of over the phone and just a lot less visible, so I like GoodHire's visibility. It’s also fairly straightforward. I initiate the background check by essentially just putting in the employee candidate’s information, selecting my package and GoodHire takes care of the rest. It will vary depending on the depth of the screening that you’re willing to do but we do very high-level checks and it only takes two or three days.

    I’ve only done one so far. I got an email notification saying it was done and then I logged on to GoodHire to pull up the results and download them or print them if I wish. The background check seems to be suitable for our needs to get the job done so I’m happy enough with it. I was told at the very beginning by my salesperson that I could tailor my package on the website, and they’re going to give me a call today to walk me through it.

We’d put in the name and email address then GoodHire sends the candidates an email. The candidates fill out all of the demographic information which is used to run the check. It’s nice cause I receive email notifications throughout the process that the candidate filled out the information or if there’s a particular jurisdiction that they think is going to take a few more days for the results to come back then I’ll get a notice on that.

    And the employer portal that I use to log in and view the status of everybody’s background checks is really nice. At a glance, it’s easy to see where everybody is at in the process.

During the summer, we had to verify some high school diplomas, but at that time, most high schools are out, so they didn’t have access to people to give them the answer they needed and so they had to take some different avenues which slowed it down a lot. But recently they didn’t have to do the high school thing and they came back in probably about a week, which is outstanding for a company that does background checks.

They are straightforward and I was able to complete everything online without having to jump through too many hoops. I called once to ask about a bulk discount if I needed to do 10 people and if there’s any price advantage for doing those all at once. I don’t think it was any cheaper to do that. They indicated that if I was doing greater quantities of people there would be but 10 was not enough to qualify for anything.

    I called another time to check on the validity of driving record checks to confirm if it was 50-state check or not and they tried to answer the best they could. However I felt like there was still a little bit ambiguity because I don’t know if it was a true 50-state check. They told me that GoodHire doesn’t directly go out and check all 50 states. They said that each state is required to report to the other states. So it’s sort of a pass around sort of deal. It was something I really had to study up on to truly understand.

    Also if I had four or five people to do at once there’s some duplication to the process to run through. I had to put in each person’s details when I could’ve just done multiple at once but there wasn’t a way for me to do that. I had to individually purchase and then, put in the person’s details and start all over, then purchase another one, put the credit card details and then put in the next person’s details. I hope I could just pay for five upfront then I can use up against that. But it has been easy using it and everything else has been working great.

    I’ve been using GoodHire for a few months now. I like that I’m able to enter information, or if I don’t have it or don’t have the time, I can allow the person to enter that information. If I enter something incorrectly, I contact the customer service team on the phone or through chat. They’re able to handle that for me and it has gone very well. I also like the ability to file the credits in bulk so that every time I run a background check, I don’t have to pay for it. I’ve had a great experience so far.

    We use GoodHire for background checks on pre-hiring our employees. It's self-explanatory on the website so it's easy to follow through. The information we were given was exactly what we needed. From what I have experienced, it has been useful, and they were easy to work with.

    Using GoodHire is easy. It has all the stuff laid out for you and you just have to fill in the information. Plus, the information we receive is acceptable and is sent in a timely manner. One time, one of our background checks was processing for a long time, but they were able to resolve that quickly. I like GoodHire. It's efficient and accurate.

    I’ve only been with the company for about 60 days and it became part of my role as HR to review GoodHire. Typically, we outsource through ADP or another provider that usually handled all of our job postings or requisitions. I’m not used to having to go out of a system that you’re currently working in to access information, log in to a different system and a paid system at that, and the way the information was provided back to you and the timeliness. Usually, it takes between one and three days turnaround period through former sites that I’ve used. It’s a different process, new, very detailed and I like that the historical data is there if you need to access it at a later date. I would utilize it for personal use but not for professional. It’s convenient, especially for a smaller scale business but on a larger scale corporation, not so much.

    We liked GoodHire's cost. We looked to our benefits and payroll people and other companies were more expensive. We also like their system. It is fantastic, extremely simple and easy to use. As soon as they get their reruns through the lab, the turnaround is fast and it's very good. I get the job done in three minutes. What I do is that I get the full legal name of the individual and their email address. I tell that individual to check their email as they're going to get something where they have to submit information, and they usually get that the same day. They provide their Social Security number and within 48 hours I have my report. I get emails saying that they're working on it, and then an email saying that the report is complete so I know when to log on.

    The longest I’ve ever waited was a week but that's because it was a state where we had to do an extra cost for that state. It was New York State and we wanted a more in-depth report and then it would run the Counties of New York. Since we're in New Jersey, I wanted to run that report. Other than that, everything's going well with GoodHire. They give quick results and I would definitely recommend them to others. Our experience with them was excellent overall.

    I did an internet search and GoodHire was on top of the list. We used another background check provider before and they were less organized. They did not have accurate information on requirements and it cost us money. But GoodHire has their staff together, operates well and tells us what we need to know. They were professional, courteous, accurate and very helpful too.

    The only thing that we haven’t delved into yet was the state by state recommendation based on local laws. But it was not because they can't provide it. Also, I would like to have an a la carte menu because if we do annual motor vehicle screenings for a select group of employees, we couldn't get it without getting the other services surrounding it. But their process was pretty easy and they responded timely.

    GoodHire has good pricing and using it to run a background check has been very accurate. Their customer service has been great. I had to call them a couple of times because they didn’t share all the information in some of the reports, but they issued a refund and told me exactly what they introduced recently to the new reports. Also, the turnaround time to receive an information back varies. Sometimes it's two to three days but it could also take up to two or three weeks. But so far, it has been very easy and convenient to use and we were happy with it and we like to keep on using it.

The ease of its use is huge so we stuck with it. It was awesome and it works very well but we had an issue with the timing. Sometimes, we've had very quick turnaround with start dates on employees recently, and we had a delay due to the information coming back. We would reach out to GoodHire, ask them what the delay was and if it might have been somebody not getting back with them.

    I was doing research online to determine what the best service would be for my business and found out about GoodHire. I decided to gather a couple of questions and contacted customer service early on thru chat function and thankfully, that worked. By having the candidate fill in the information that's required, it makes the process an easy, two-minute exercise for me and I have a lot of turnovers, so that's important. If I enter the information first thing in the morning, I get results in the same day. I thought it was three days but it was a lot faster. GoodHire exceeded my expectations.

    We used a service called ST Background before and it's more of a construction industry specific company that some of our customers use, but they have some limitations. They did not also do credit checks and we need to include it with a new hire, so we looked for something else. I run the GoodHire checks when we need them and it is really easy to do, and for the most part, the turnaround time has been quick. We had one case where it took weeks to get back because it was searching records in Florida and they were having weather issues.

    I called their customer service team about some group pricing. I knew for one of the jobs that we have throughout the life of the project we would be continually doing background checks for every person that went to this particular job site and I was looking for something a little more customized for our needs. They have packages where I could buy 10 background checks upfront and then process them as I need them or I could buy 20 or 30. So far, I've done about 15 for that particular project, but the project will last a couple of years, so we may end up needing background checks for 40 people. I didn’t want to overbuy or underbuy, so I just buy them one at a time. It’d be nice if they had a more customized approach to group pricing.

For most of my checks, the result came in just a day. There were some delays, though, from requests that needed some further sign off from the employee directly.

The system operations are very good, and their customer service is wonderful. Their background checks usually take around two days from the time the potential employee puts their information in, if there’s no drug-screen included, and they’re not in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is their motor background, so their motor vehicle check takes longer. But once that’s done, it’s a 24 to 48-hour turnaround.
