We can design custom background checks using GoodHire for any employment type and job function. It streamlines the procedure and offers thorough and effective background checks. When making our hiring decisions, we omitted a lot of information. Using Good Hire makes it easy for me to secure our clients and staff because I appear to acquire information from a variety of sources.

I used GoodHire when I first was hired to make sure that I satisfied all the required background checks before I started working. The business problem that this addresses is how to quickly and efficiently get lots of employees checked with as little interruption to business as possible. In my case the scope was just me and my team as that is all the people that were affected.

It is a an employee verification tool. It helps in having a background check of the employees with the use of technology. It saves a lot of time and is very effective in having the background information and filtering out the fake employees from the bunch. It builds trust in the organization

Background verification is easier. It is a trusted guide for us to use. Because they have such a good list of clients, we were able to take our business needs to them. They take lesser times to provide background checks. Experience has been quite fruitful for us. We are able to intiate and manage our background checks more efficiently

We utilize Good Hire for all our Backgrounds and Driving Record checks. They are easy to use and are very timely in their responses
to our request for a Background check. I would highly recommend them for any company to use small or large.

Good Hire is used by our company to complete promotional and pre-employment background checks. Our promotional background checks, completed by internal associates, are completed using a direct link created and provided by Good Hire on our location’s intranet site. Pre-employment background checks, completed by external candidates, are completed using api integrations to Good Hire and the Good Hire system will email a link directly to candidates.

We were looking for an easy and fast background check company. We did not want to send our employees to some place local as we wanted to address any covid concerns. We also wanted something that would get us results quickly and electronically. GoodHire was quick, online, and comprehensive and better than others we searched.

The Human Resources department uses it primarily for pre-employment drug screens, motor vehicle reports, social security number traces, and background checks. That way, we can be sure we're being thorough in regards to other employees' safety, as well as remaining in compliance with commercial jobsite requirements (schools, government buildings, hospitals, etc.).

GoodHire is a game changer! At our company, I use GoodHire whenever a new employee is hired. I am able to be selective in my options and tailor the background check to the person I am hiring. I have the normal selections I do for every employee, but depending on their level of schooling I can choose how many education background checks based on the number of degrees they have. GoodHire is always fast and easy and I love that I can rely on them to get the background checks back timely. I have also spoken with their customer service and they have always been quick and helpful. Also, being able to set up monthly ongoing alerts on all of our employees is a great feature and inexpensive.

GoodHire is used by myself for medical professionals who wish to work at our facilities. HR also uses my reports for the HR side of the same medical professionals. We look at the whole report to verify what the provider has given us, along with their signed release. It helps us analyze professionals from all over the world. A 'one-stop shop,' so to speak.

We used GoodHire to do pre-employment background checks in HR. I appreciated that it was easy to use, the employee could enter their own information, and the turnaround was super fast. I was used to 3-10 day background checks and most GoodHire checks came back in 1-3 days. As the only employee in HR, I needed something fast and easy.

I run and manage STEM education programs with high school students that revolve around mentorship. To have adults connect with minors, a background check tool is a critical element. GoodHire is built into the API of our mentoring platform, the Mentor Matching Engine, and we run our 500+ mentors through the platform each year (we run annual background checks). Without a background check tool that is integrated into our platform, we wouldn't be able to run out programs, so it is an essential part of our programs.

GoodHire is used for both background checks and drug tests for all new employees. As a publicly-traded company, we have an obligation to provide a workplace that is free from drug users and potential individuals with violent crimes in their background. In Human Resources, it's essential that we conduct these checks.
