No stars I'd give no stars if that were an option. They take forever to process the background checks, blame the counties for the delays, say they'll expedite the request when you ask about it, and still not be finished with the report weeks later.

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!

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.

I have been waiting on Hireright for a… I have been waiting on Hireright for a solid month now. Was supposed to start a job on March 14th but we are still waiting on Hireright. I have called several times. First they needed more info from my past empliyment, so I sent check stubs, W2s and tax transcripts. Then it was my MVR report, now thats updated. Now they are analyzing my urine from a drug screen that I PASSED on Feb 23! How long can someone possibly analyze urine??!!!! I called on March 15th and they claim the lab has my specimin in the final stages!!! They are a terribke service and would not recommend them to ANYONE. I have been out of work this whole time planning on starting on the 14th, now who knows if they will EVER get done with it. Ridiculous!

Absolutely horrible company to deal… Absolutely horrible company to deal with. Nothing but bureaucratic dystopian nightmare. Won't do their job, push all the work off on you, refuse to cooperate in any way just endless circles of nothing. Honestly if a company uses them I would walk away, they aren't worth dealing with unless your offered some major money. Update: after multiple escalations a competent person from Hireright reached out and resolved the problem. Use the chat feature and just keep escalating, go beyond the escalation team, they're useless. Then request an email and a call from the someone above escalations and they will be able to get things moving. Everyone below them is either a bot or does not understand english as a first language and gives conflicting information all the while trying to deny everything.
