Highly intrusive and feels untrustworthy Highly intrusive, no explanation about why the data is needed, although it invites you to obscure unnecessary data, whatever that means. Company would not respond to enquiry because they said my email, which is the one they first contacted me on, is not verified. They contacted my current employer and then asked me for exactly the same data because the employer had not responded within a day, so that was duplication of effort.

Absolutely the worst I’ve ever… Absolutely the worst I’ve ever encountered. My background check is going on three weeks now with no end in sight. I’ve tried calling but can’t understand the rep on the phone. He wasn’t too interested in helping anyway. Frankly, I’m ready to decline the position and move on, this isn’t worth the hassle with Hire Right.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I am begging HR managers to avoid this company at all costs. You will have to do all the work, uploading semantic documents as their policies are so rigid with what they can/cannot accept. They will call you at all hours of the night requesting more documentation (due to being based in the US and having no regard for where you yourself are based.) Absolutely dreadful experience, they have massively delayed my start date for a new job.

The absolute worst! Surely they can do better! I would give a zero stars if I could. Their customer service leaves a lot to be desired. The chat function is a total waste of time. Chatting to them is like pulling teeth, you have to wait an age for an agent to be assigned only to be told we cannot share your OWN information with you because and I quote “that is their policy and it will not change”. I have waited for this background check for an age - all the while I have time sensitive matters to attend to with my current employer and they are delaying the process. This has been the worst experience of my life by far. The amount of anxiety one has to deal with while waiting for this company to finalise a background check is disgusting! By far the worst screening company I have ever had to deal with! They cannot answer simple questions like what stage your background check is at. They evade all your questions by just parroting the same textbook answers. This company is beyond incompetent! At this point my start date will definitely get pushed back - that is clear from all the reviews I have read. They are absolutely terrible! They need to get their acts together and begin to provide a far better experience for candidates!

Worst onboarding experience EVER! I can not put into words the level of incompetence displayed by this company. I have been in the corporate world for almost 30 years and gone through background checks / screenings many times. At most it has taken 2 - 3 days each time. This dumpster fire of a company has dragged things out over a week....Just to accept all my documents and forms! That's not even the actual background check. That will take anywhere from 13 hours to FIFTEEN additional business days. Absolutely ludicrous and has resulted in me having to push back the start date of my hire. Why any company would chose to partner with this place is beyond me.
