Checkster vs. HireRight

Checkster is best suited for organizations that hire more than 100 applicants a year. For organizations with high turnover, this is an outstanding way to weed out candidates early in the process and make more room for sound decision making with current hires. Organizations with seasonal and or hourly staff would benefit greatly from this application.

We needed more security as far as hiring new people was concerned. HireRight becomes the right candidate for this position. The best thing about this is partnered with HR services and integrations with other tools that make it easy to keep records and set up. However, its UI is outdated, they can update it to improve performance and user friendly.

• It requires extremely minimal effort to start a reference check.
• It is really user friendly.
• It provides an easy to understand report that summarizes the findings of the reference check and overall themes.

• We've never had an issue with integration, this seems to be working well. It's a strength because we can't afford time lost on IT issues.
• It is nice that they have an online instant chat function, for when we need answers ASAP, so we can continue with the process and appease our customers
• The background checks themselves are aesthetically pleasing, which makes it easier to review results.

• Customer Service. They lack here. It takes too long to resolve issues, especially with your assigned account manager. I have to continue to ask for an update and sometimes, I do not get a response back.
• Back Up Account Managers - The account manager you are assigned may not be available. We need to be provided a list of people we can contact in the event that our POC in unavailable.

There are various ways you are able to call HireRight. They do have busy times and so the live chat is helpful because you are able to leave the chat open until an agent is available (and do work than being tied to a phone).

HireRight is not on the same level as One Source Background Checks. They provide more detailed reports and background check history. They are able to customize your background checks. They also integrate well with our ATS. One Source also holds background check data on file for 2 years. We also use them for an OSCC contractor certifier, which I don't think HireRight does.

• It saves us SO MUCH TIME- we no longer have to call up references, type up their responses, clean it up, and put it on a neat template.
• Checkster reaches out to the references and does all the work for you.
• It puts the results in an easy-to-understand report (you can also download the PDF or send the URL).

• Improved candidate experience. Our process is now more modern and appealing to candidates, as well as easier to complete.
• Pre-employment screening times have improved, reducing our time to hire. This helps us get new hires onboarded and working faster, which is a win for our new hires and our location managers.
• Online document retention keeps confidential information secure, and reduces the paperwork and clutter we are forced to manage on-site.
