What do you like best about Checkmate?

Very easy and seamless system, Customer support and client management interaction is fantastic. They do an excellent job of putting resource behind their product to ensure their are not delays in checks due to user or document upload error's rather than waiting for issues to be raised. Our client manager was extremely knowledgable about New Zealand compliance and recruitment including future legislation changes e.t.c Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Checkmate?

Could use a little more self-help options for online management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Checkmate?

Speed of some police checks but not Checkmate's fault but that of the ministry of justice, otherwise it's super easy and very efficient to see results back Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Checkmate?

Checkmate has enabled MIT to enhance the candidate experience while giving back our Talent Team valuable time. The tool is customisable to our needs and brand, really appreciate the flexibility of logic flow and question types. The platform is easy to use. The fraud detection tool is helpful. The Checkmate team is helpful and responsive. The tool has resulted in us shortening our recruitment timeframes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Checkmate?

We had a few speedbumps during the integration process, this delayed our ability to get up and running. However, we got there in the end! Would be good to be able to add one-off questions to logic-flow templates, without needing to have the Checkmate team set this up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing at all. We are currently only using the background checking function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
