(Original )Information
What do you like best about Verified First?

Verified First has a very advanced platform that allows the user an unmatched control and visibility over the background check process. I have the ability to generate custom reports, as well as add/manage users and their authorizations on my own, which was a feature I greatly miss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Verified First?

The customer service at Verified First has decreased significantly. We have had incorrect results reported, experienced website connectivity issues, billing issues, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Verified First:

A few words of advice:

1) Make sure that you are getting a competitive price. Verified First was not at all cost-competitive with other providers.

2) Make sure that Verified First can accommodate all of your needs. We had some promises about future services that Verified First would be able to accommodate that never materialized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

None currently. Initially, Verified First helped us revitalize our background check processes and bring them into the age of technology. I understand that Verified First is expanding rapidly currently, but I believe they are losing focus on their core business as well as their clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Verified First?

I started using Verified First in March of this year. It is extremely intuitive and does not require any hand-holding. That is a HUGE benefit given the minimal training I received from my predecessor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Verified First?

Based on our small HR Team, we worked with Verified First to have them, based on our rules, do an adjudication process. The VF team, reviews employment background results and give us an OK to hire based on our legal perimeters.. Cuts down on a ton of time and was very cost effective to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Verified First?

We wanted to run backgrounds on minors and the current process is all manual. They are making automated soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Lack of HR team headcount to manage process. They have helped us save from hiring a person to manage or add to an already full plate off current person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Verified First?

The feature to send the info to the applicant to complete saves our high volume recruiting a lot of time on these processes. Additionally, it is very helpful to have the background process included in the same process as our drug screening process. Going to one place makes the applicant experience much better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Verified First?

I wish they included more integration options, such as the family care safety registry. Also, it would be very beneficial to have a demo option for employees to easily trouble shoot for users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have cut down the time necessary to run a background drastically, allowing us much more time for other processes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Verified First?

We have had a lot of issues with the 48 hour rule and with the access to drug screens through verified first. Our applicants have trouble with it daily and it causes a lot of problems and wasted time for us contacting verified first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are able to drug screen and that helps us have better insurance. We are able to have the applicant do most of the work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Verified First?

I like that Verified had a very quick turnaround on background results as our project sites have a high demand for personnel during the peak seasons and we can't afford to delay. Definitely the biggest plus! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Verified First?

I mostly question the accuracy of the these searches....they almost process TOO quickly; as if the sources they're pulling from aren't accurate. We compared background results between Verified and another company and the average process completion with the other company would be anywhere from 1-10 bushiness days AND we had several searches process different results between both companies. With Verified, results ALWAYS processed same-day and with minimal information; the results were ALWAYS clear; it just seemed too good to be true. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We able to get our new hires on the ground within a day or two during pre-employment, so avoiding delays was a big help for the company at the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
