What differentiates HireRight Background Checks from other similar products?

HireRight fits because it integrates directly with our applicant tracking system, so background checks slide seamlessly into the hiring flow. In marketing, we move fast, and any delays between offer and onboarding can cost us top talent. HireRight’s automation reduces those gaps.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The global coverage is an absolute beast in the sense that I can vet candidates across multiple regions where we recruit creative and digital staff. The compliance alerts are also useful, especially when local regulations differ between markets like the US and EU.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Turnaround times can vary more than expected depending on the region. For candidates outside major hubs, verification sometimes stretches our timelines. A more transparent status update system for candidates themselves would also ease the back-and-forth our team handles.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you use HireRight, integrate it fully with your ATS early — it saves your recruiters from chasing reports manually. Also, set candidate expectations upfront, particularly for international hires, so they understand the timeline and don’t get frustrated during the waiting period.

  • Inspires Innovation
