Self Serve Background checks Like many others have said - be ready to preform your OWN background check. Isn't it their job to validate you worked where you say you did? They immediatly come back with "Cannot verify your employment". I doubt they even tried. They rather have you submit what you can to prove you worked there rather than to do their job. I supplied them with W2's and everything, still cant verify my employment. Why are they asking for companies i worked for EIGHT Years ago?! What does previous employment even have to do with a criminal background check? I already got the job... Bunch of data mining thieves.

Incompetent Researchers The reps or researchers they have are incompetent. I have provided every bit of information, including telephone numbers, and W-2, I even paid for my employment verification report to send to them to help with a verification and yet they still have no clue. Researchers are still asking for the same documents they acknowledged receiving. One and a half hours of holding time to speak to someone shows they are overworked and don't care.

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.

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!

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!
