What do you like best about Universal Background Screening?

Pricing is competitive compared to some vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Universal Background Screening?

I’ve encountered some challenges with customer service, as it has been difficult to get timely assistance with issues. Additionally, the website could benefit from improvements in user experience. One area that stands out is the turnaround time for background checks, which can take up to three weeks for multiple candidates. It would be greatly appreciated if there were more transparency regarding these delays. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Universal Background Screening solving and how is that benefiting you?

Unfortunately, rather than solving problems, Universal Background Screening has only exasterbated these issues and created new ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Universal Background Screening?

Universal Background Screening is nice because it provides an easy and compliant way to conduct background checks and drug screenings. I like the layout of the website and that it can be integrated with HR softwares! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Universal Background Screening?

Universal Background Screening sometimes can take too long to get a background check complete. There have been times where I've had to wait 2 weeks to get a background check complete. When hiring, this can be frustrating for us the employer and the candidate. It holds up the process and sometimes creates unnecessary delays. There have been times where I've placed a rush on an order, and it has still taken several more days to get completed. The Drug Screening process can also be a bit confusing for the candidates because everything comes in one email and they miss the info about the drug screen or don't understand what they need to do - so this leads to me having to follow up with the candidates multiple times and having to explain the whole process/walk them through.

What do you like best about Universal Background Screening?

I liked how convenient everything was. UBS was integrated into our applicant system, so when offering a position and getting them set up for education/work history background check, it was literally about 5 clicks of the mouth rather than having to enter a lot of information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Universal Background Screening?

The only issues were when they were unable to reach certain employers to verify employment. Sometimes it seemed like they could have tried a little more often, and it was sometimes tough to get in touch with someone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Universal Background Screening:

I would recommend having a conversation with them to see if they are able to integrate their services into your applicant tracking system. If that can be done, it makes everything so simple and streamlined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Universal Background Screening solving and how is that benefiting you?

We switched from a different company to UBS. They were both to do the same thing, but UBS saved us money and made it an easier process to get the checks started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Universal Background Screening?

the ease of use and speed of turn around Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Universal Background Screening?

sometimes there seems to be hidden fees for drug screens. They have non-preferred locations that charge extra but they never disclose the additional amount. We occasionaly have employees in more remote areas so there are limited options - which is fine, but we dont expect to have $80+ drug screens either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Universal Background Screening?

I like that it was a simple process. I needed to do several background checks at my job and this made it an easy process. Things like this aren’t my favorite task to do so it was nice that it was simple and easy to understand. I liked the layout of the site and how clear it was to use the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Universal Background Screening?

There wasn’t really anything I disliked. Maybe the fact that we have to do background checks on people, haha! It would be so much nicer if we could trust everyone. But unfortunately that is not the world we live in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great product, very helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Universal Background Screening solving and how is that benefiting you?

I had a need for several background checks to be performed. Our precious system was very outdated. I solved the problem of finding a tool that would allow us to do new background checks. This was definitely an upgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
