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.

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.

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.
