Likelihood to Recommend	Accurate Background Very well suited for our company because of their pricing, reliability, speed, detail, and user experience. I don't think there are any scenarios where Accurate wouldn't work for a business Incentivized Lauren Love Director of Business Strategy Read full review	Equifax No answers on this topic

Cons	Accurate Background The screening process on the US side took 4+ months to be implemented even though there was no specific request or difficulty on our side: we have a very basic need that Accurate Background is supposed to be implementing easily. Twice in the past Accurate Background's reports have shown blank records ... for people with a criminal history. I receive on a regular basis from Accurate services emails asking for more information. But sometimes this email is not for me but for the candidate. And you never know what complementary information is required. You just receive an email stating "we need more information". You have to chase them to know what they need. I have recently received a message stating that a search is complete. When you open the record, you realize the search has been abandoned. There is a sentence at the end of it stating that you have received an email from their services.... when you have received nothing. All the above shows that there is minimum interaction with real people from their services, that their automatic messages are not complete nor accurate, and that their search results just cannot be trusted.

Alternatives Considered	Accurate Background Accurate is much better. The most thorough background check company I have ever used. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Equifax No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Accurate Background Our turn around time has decreased by half as far as complete background checks are concerned. This allows us to keep our candidates and improve their experience. We averaged a savings of over $2,000/year thanks to Accurate's ability to create customized packages.
