What do you like best about Verified First?

The integration with my ATS greenhouse is good. The selection packages are great. The use for international is not good. I'd give 7 1/2 or eight out of 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Verified First?

International background screens Is not as easy as it could be Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Verified First solving and how is that benefiting you?

I wanted a background check vendor, the integrated directly with my ATS. We had less clicks and I could run a variety of searches for both US and abroad and it does this. The international pie is just not great. I will say it is just fine for the US turns fast pricing is fair. They have improved international background checks, but they're still some clunkiness and just bad processes with it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Verified First?

Verified First cares about compliance when running background checks, which is very important due to all the federal regulations that come with running an applicant's background check. I also like the fact that everything can be handled paperlessly. Our applicants don't tend to have home printers to print off disclosure and authorization forms, so being able to fill out that information using their phone is a BIG help! If I ever do have an issue and need to call or chat with someone, they are always friendly and helpful and do everything they can to make sure their customers are happy.

I have worked with other vendors at other companies, but Verified First is hands down the best vendor I've worked with! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Verified First?

I don't have any complaints or suggestions on what they could do better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Verified First solving and how is that benefiting you?

We want to make sure any employee we hire doesn't have a violent past or issue with drugs. Verified First helps by pulling background information to make sure we keep our other employees and customers safe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Verified First?

Verified First is so easy to use. When doing a background check for a new candidate I don't need to collect a release form or have their personal information floating through email... I just enter their name and email address in Verified First and they take it from there.

Other companies took days to return our background checks, but Verified First is so fast, usually returning the information same day. They don't charge extra for their speed and convenience, either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Verified First?

There isn't anything I don't like about Verified First. Even during the pandemic, when their bottom line must have been suffering incredibly, they did not ever reach out trying to sell anything. Instead during that time they turned their efforts to supporting their clients that worked in HR, sending them encouraging words and being empathetic to the struggles they were experiencing. It was refreshing and so needed! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Verified First solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need to know what kind of employees we are hiring, not just to protect our other employees, but to protect the customer's whose homes we are putting them in. Verified First quickly checks for criminal background or sex offenders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Verified First?

Their chat function quickly takes you to customer support and their team is so knowledgable in responding to questions. I've asked them for status updates, billing questions, adding modules (eg. International searches) to our package and it all gets informed or completed within a week. Implementation is easy, as is utilization of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Verified First?

Thus far I have no dislikes about Verified First. It's been a great improvement since we've moved away from ADP SASS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VF is our background check vendor and has been a relieving solution from our HRIS's bgc option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Verified First solving and how is that benefiting you?

Verified First offers options for background checks that other companies do not have. We wanted to add driver records to our process and it's so easy to add it to the package and the cost was very affordable. We are benefiting from the flexibility of checks and costs.
