Howdy, I’m Justin with TechnologyAdvice. Welcome to part 2 of our series on the Top Background Check Services available in 2023. If you missed our last video where we talked about the main things to look out for with employment screening, you can check it out in the description below or this button in the top right corner of the screen. But if you’re all caught up, let’s take a look at a few of the top options available, starting with: GoodHire - Our expert’s pick for the “Best Background Check Site Overall.” GoodHire includes basic criminal records and SSN searches, but also extends to healthcare-related and compliance searches.
Goodhire offers web, mobile, and API solutions for testing and data transfer, and also provides an online portal for candidates to sign their consent and automatically begin the process. You know that y’all love lists and heck, we love ‘em too, so let’s look at the pros and cons: The price is relatively competitive GoodHire has a friendly, easy-to-use interface There’s an extensive resource library And Goodhire includes a comprehensive number of checks That said- Wait times can be longer than some competitors If you intend to do more than 10 checks per year, you must contact them directly for a custom quote And certain states and organizations charge pass-through fees, which will increase the price Now onto Sterling - our expert’s pick for the Best Background Checks for International Companies.
Sterling offers pre-employment screening, verification and monitoring services in more than 240 countries for businesses OR individuals who need to check their own candidacy profiles. And for those in the US, Sterling offers drug and health testing at over 12,000 sites nationwide. Now onto the pros and cons: Sterling is a global leader in background checks with decades of experience Can run background checks in more than 240 countries ID verification means more accurate candidate data And Sterling has fast turnaround times However, Pricing is not transparent Some users have stated customer services could be better And there tends to be a bit of lag with the interface And now- BackgroundReport.com, our experts’ pick for the “Most Affordable Background Check Site.” BackgroundReport.com is a self-service background check website where potential employees can log in and upload personal information.
The inclusion of housing and credit documents as well as SSN validation makes this a good choice for small businesses, renters, and property managers. Onto to the lists! Transparent pricing and most affordable background checks overall Employees can also use it to check themselves preemptively And you can run a background check on another small business you might want to work with On the flip side- The interface is outdated and could be improved It’s not suitable for larger business or enterprise customers due to the more limited checks.
