What do you like best about GoodHire (a Checkr company)?

The website is relatively clear and navigatable, the results are relatively easy to navigate a read. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoodHire (a Checkr company)?

The product looks great aesthetically, however its a bit deceiving as it is fairly complex and somewhat difficult to actually use. For example if you start a background check you'll be asked if you want to use your standard template, but this template has an 'edit' choice, but if you click edit you can't actually edit your standard template and I can't find a way to edit it. It only edits the current background check, but the options already on the screen prior to clicking edit accomplish that same thing. Similarly if you click 'contact support' when logged in, it goes to a generic screen where you are contacting support as if you were not logged into the product. The deal breaker for me is it will not notify you via email if there is a background check that has not cleared. This is a significant issue if there is a background check that has not cleared, it's important a notification is fired so that HR staff go look at it. In terms of County searches you can select three counties but you have to manually choose them, I with the product could figure out what counties someone lived in and feed that into the county lookup automatically. Like so many products it needs that last 10%. All this being said, most software is terrible, and this product may very well be better than most of its competitors, that would not surprise me. It needs some major improvements to have non-technical folk use it, but it still may be one of the best given the low bar of business / enterprise software usability.

What do you like best about GoodHire (a Checkr company)?

Love the integration that's possible between GoodHire and our ATS (Greenhouse). It makes background checks seamless and fast. In my busy day-to-day, I'm grateful for things that make my life easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoodHire (a Checkr company)?

There really isn't much that I dislike. I suppose the only downside is how many emails I get for every change that takes place, but I'm sure this is customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GoodHire (a Checkr company) solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main problem that's being solved through the integration was the time that it was taking to upload a new candidate. With the integration, this information is preloaded and I just have to submit the request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GoodHire (a Checkr company)?

I like the ability to create tailored background checks for each employment type and role (cost effective). I also love the fabulous dashboard that gives me an easy snapshot of what background checks are in process, which background checks are ready for review, and then which are cleared and good to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoodHire (a Checkr company)?

This may just be the nature of third party background checks, but Goodhire flags the tiniest little thing without taking context into account. Like Feb 23, 2016 would be flagged if they verify the date as February 23, 2016. A little more intuition and context could reduce the time it takes for us to review background checks that are flagged that end up actually being just fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GoodHire (a Checkr company) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Goodhire enables us to process fast, thorough background checks on all of our new hires before they start. It's our policy to run a background check on every one of our new team members, and Goodhire helps us reduce the time it takes to accomplish this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
