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!

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.

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.

Horrible customer service Horrible customer service, user interface and experience for employees! They don't update the status but ask you for a bunch of data. I have been screened a few times before, another platform that was called Validata did my previous background check and they did inform me throughout the process what has been verified, how long i should wait and so on. But HireRight's customer service does not help but just pasted answers from a protocol..

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.
