What do you like best about Turn?

I like how it is easy to register for our applicant's drug screenings and background checks. I like that you can package background check types together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Turn?

I dislike how you cannot access and individual part of the report until the check for the entire package is complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Turn solving and how is that benefiting you?

Turn is trying to look into turnaround times and working with entities that they haven't worked with before that will make our background check process more extensive and easier to access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Turn?

Turn creates an open platform to view applicants and their background history. When selecting candidates for a position, knowing the elements they include helps make applicant decisions clear. The upside of Turn is that applicants can get processed in less than 48 hours we can move applicants along quicker in their application process with the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Turn?

The downside of Turn is that sometimes, applicants can get stuck in a limbo period and resolving any issue may take longer than 72 hours. I've had an instance where I've waited over a week for confirmation details on one applicant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Turn solving and how is that benefiting you?

Turn account representatives are available to us to impede any instances we have when reviewing candidates. Because of this, we are able to identify any issues that candidates come across and resolve issues more effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Turn?

Everyone I've contacted at Turn or our organization has contacted has been responsive and helpful with our needs or concerns. They are open to our feedback and making changes if needed, or sharing why something is done a certain way. I always appreciate their attention to customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Turn?

Our organization doesn't love that our volunteers who get background checked must select one checkbox that they want their report and their emails must be added to a marketing distribution list. We understand why this is done for the average user of Turn and we don't fault them for that, but it just doesn't work with our organization's reason for using Turn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Turn solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our organization uses Turn to background check volunteers who travel on mission trips to other countries. We do this by having volunteers fill out an application and the background check is part of that process. We could not find another company that could integrate with our system and not have users use a separate system outside of ours. But the Turn team has worked well with our web developer to clear any issues and find a seamless process that moves them through the application process more quickly than we had experienced before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Turn?

Our relationship with Turn started last year when we needed to run background checks on several thousand people quickly.

She is fantastic and cares about our experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Turn?

I really appreciate that Turn was willing to integrate with our ATS (Lever) - it wasn't already in place and they worked with Lever to build. SImilar to competitors in the integration and Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Turn?

It has taken time and a lot of questions to better understand the different statuses - not quite as intuitive as I would expect - I was able to get access to the dashboard to get more information but still needed clarification - especially CONSENT status as nobody in our organization had experience with another vendor that had that initial authorization collected from the applicant and then further consent in some cases. Our team didn't understand why sometimes that additional consent is needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Turn:

Easy to use, direct or through ATS integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Turn solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our higher area volume was looking for a more cost effective tool. Our area (Talent Acquisition) used the same vendor as our high volume area so we went along with their choice of vendor. It seems to be working out well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
