### "Fast Results"

August 15, 2019

4.0

It makes our hiring process much easier. The software we previously had wasn't as fast. We get faster results so we can make faster and better decisions.

Pros

It keeps track of the progress each person have done. I can see if they have opened it or if they have seen it yet.

Cons

For administrative purposes I wish I could download a sheet which would show name of employees and status (employed, processing or denied)

### "21st Century Pre-Employment"

April 7, 2020

5.0

Pros

The biggest benefit for our company was the ability to run background checks remotely. Beyond that the ease of use for both the company and the candidate, the quick turnaround, and the simplicity in reporting make the product fantastic.

Cons

Our company has many employees who are required to have Department of Transportation cards because they drive and transport product across state lines. This would be a welcome addition to GoodHire's offerings.

Reason for choosing GoodHire

I selected GoodHire because it was recommended when we implemented BambooHR

### "All Inclusive!"

August 16, 2019

5.0

Overall I've had a very pleasant experience and will continue to use Goodhire. I very much appreciate the ability to utilize the chat feature for support as I'm not a fan of sitting on the phone trying to get a human on the other side vs the automated system. That is extremely frustrating when your trying to get help. So far everyone I've dealt with from Goodhire has been very helpful and professional.

Pros

The fact that I can do everything in one please. I appreciate the user platform, its very easy to use and navigate.

Cons

I'd like to have more control over the drug screen process. Im not notified when a drug test is completed so I know to keep an eye out for the results.

Reason for choosing GoodHire

Goodhire seemed like not only the most legitimate business but also appeared to have a user interface that would work well for my and my company.

5.0

Pros

The product is easy to use, and I get the results quickly! If there is any "slow down" I receive an email to let me know the stages of the background check.

### "Great Software!"

April 6, 2020

5.0

GoodHire has been great and a crucial part of our on-boarding process.

Pros

Good Hire is easy to use and integrates with our applicant tracking very easily.

Cons

It takes awhile for some checks to come back. Not GoodHires fault though.

### "Quick but thourough"

September 17, 2018

5.0

I will use them again. I have exactly what I need now and at a price that my Accounting team won't sigh about

Pros

I needed a background done quickly for a new hire and it was within hours I had most of my vital information.

Cons

My local counties held up the process by about 3 days, but GoodHire kept me informed the entire time.

### "It's a great system, user friendly, and has quick return time on background checks."

February 1, 2018

5.0

Fast, accurate results and FCRA compliant.

Pros

We love that you can customize each search as needed by adding or removing items. This allows for more thorough checks depending on each position applied for in our company. It's also nationally based and accurate which is a necessity for our business that's located in a tourist town. We are a customer facing business that uses a one-on-one model: one employee, to one customer. We are thankful for knowing that our hand picked employees are safe, and who they truly claim to be.

### "A time saver!"

August 8, 2019

5.0

Pros

This tool is super easy to use and makes my life so much easy buy saving my time as and employer/ business. My potential employees just put in all the required info and I get the report in front of me in no time.

Cons

I would say the price. When you run checks more than a couple in a month then it gets expensive.

### "Good hire is way too easy"

October 16, 2018

5.0

Pros

It's easy to use and timeline to receive background check is very quick. It was also very easy to implement and train team to use.

Cons

The tool integrates very well with Lever though I would like to see it store the background checks in lever instead of in the platform.

### "Goodhire is great to use!"

April 13, 2020

5.0

Pros

It's very easy to use and navigate. It's nice to have the types of searches for criminal records and when to use them as well the background check compliance to keep up with the changing laws.

Cons

I have not used this enough to really tell you about too many cons except that it is a learning curve for me.

### "Great from the start!"

June 27, 2018

5.0

Pros

Online, the applicant can provide the information through the website, the frequent updates and friendly customer services

Cons

When you buy a package, you should be able to remove items without calling customer service. For example, if you are not checking the most recent employer as it may jeopardize the applicant's employment. Also, I purchased a package with an education search and I was charged an additional fee after the fact. This should be built into the pricing.

### "Absolutely love this service!"

December 14, 2016

5.0

Having tried and used multiple background check services in the past, this one, hands down, has been fantastic. The pricing is inexpensive, it is easy to use and incredibly fast.

Pros

It is inexpensive, easy to use, customizable (you can add on additional items you want to be checked) and ridiculously fast. I also like that you can easily share the results with the perspective employee you are running the check on.

Cons

Can not think of any.

The software is incredibly easy to use on the employer end. Easy to send a background check request to potential hire; they enter all their data! Reports get back to you quick. I like that you can select individual reports to add on rather than being forced to purchase bundles.

I like the transparency of the process for both the employee candidate and employer. I never had to wonder what was happening or when my report would be finished.

Cons

I did not discover any cons. This software was easy to use, the reviews on the web were good enough to convince me to try it and if anything, GoodHire was better than expected.

June 7, 2022

3.0

Pros

The pricing is pretty low compared to other services, and the platform is easy to use and navigate

Cons

Doesn't provide the most accurate background checks, especially since integration with checkr, which is the service we switched from. Have not had a positive experience - asks candidates to do most of the work for them

### "Very easy and quick to use"

August 15, 2019

5.0

I work for a rapidly growing company that just recently implemented background checks as a part of the hiring process. Based on previous experiences, I assumed that it would be a pain to implement a robust background check for new hires, but GoodHire has made it incredibly simple.

Pros

I love the ease when using this software. I can have a new hire background check submitted within minutes and I get emailed updates alerting me along the way.

Cons

I haven't run into any major bugs just yet.
