We are super happy with Discovered AI and look forward to start using the Employee evaluation platform that is built in to it.

It would be great to have a "cheat sheet" to refer to what it means if a person scores high on "dishonesty" for instance.

sensitive content hidden] and his team put my needs above their.   When seaching for a candidate he was more interested in finding the best match no matter how long it took, rather than taking anything that came along.

Operations Manager

I also like that even when I am the busiest, hiring still gets done!

The ease with which I can send assessments to candidates directly from the site is great.

Finance Manager

The Hire Talents assessments are so helpful when recruiting for our office.

Firm Administrator

Brokerage Coordinator

The only difficulty we have experienced with The Hire Talent is the AI rating tool not being accurate, just a good reminder to double-check the candidates yourself.

Senior Consultant 

the ability to compare other roles and skills for candidates

Has more capabilities I am eager to explore

good support but the purchase of lumpsum of credit does not appeal to me and I find the dashboard confusing

Director of Human Resources and Compliance

I recently had ZOOM meeting with [sensitive content hidden] who gave me few tips on how use The Hire Talent platform more efficiently.

HR Manager

sensitive content hidden] is a great listener, problem solver, and teacher.

VP of Operations

I love Hire Talent assessments and I do not make any hiring decisions without it.

HR Specialist 

easy to use and send assessments. If we have questions we can always reach out and their people are quick to respond.

HR Recruiter

We are considering this service for our pre-employment testing.

On the few occasions we went outside the test recommendations and made the hire anyway - we have regretted it.

Allows me to directly send link to assessment to candidate.

Operations & HR Manager

organization of the applications we receive, the phone interview notes and assessments are fantastic

found talent, and cheaper than a head hunter.

Executive Assistant

It makes the process easier for the internal staff and saves time.

Marketing & Administrative Coordinator

Wish there were more tiers in terms of stages.

Chief Executive Officer

I most of this is changed with your new platform but still if one test contains several test within it you need to let us know what tests are within the test

I like that it can be customized and the formats can be changed depending on the specific role we want to create an assessment for.

Doesn't require a certified/trained individual to issue assessments.

Just making sure to get the right test assigned to the right position, maybe a chart to pick tests related to the position and what the test measures.

Our company likes the the assessment test and results.

The assessments I use give me a realistic view of my candidate and what they can bring to the role I am hiring for.

I’m learning my own gaps in knowledge of how to hire people and picking out what I want to know more about specific people.

Anytime I have a question or need assistance someone normally answers right away.  

SENSITIVE CONTENT] is professional, knowledgable, and customer service oriented.

HR Generalist

It helps us to determine if their skills are where we need them to be before hiring them, which saves us time and cost in training those whose skill level may not be as strong as presented.  

One specific example is that the words "call center" could be a specific location name needing to be capitalized or just a general place that do not.   Because of this, I review each specific question missed when reviewing a candidate's results.

Associate Director, Employment and Compensation

I have heard from multiple customer support representatives at the Hire Talent that their system and platforms are "not the best" and "difficult to use."

It helps evaluate what type of hire we can expect.

There are bugs in the software that make it less reliable and need to be fixed

Recruiting Manager

The Hire Talent helps me to find the right candidates for the job.

Recruiter

Easy to use and customer services is great

H.R. Assistant

I am a new user with this company and so far, I feel very comfortable with the software.  

Director of Operations

Easy to use system with all the assessments, one way interviews, and recruiting tools in one place.

Chief Operating Officer

I have been in the recruiting industry for several years and I was very impressed with the breadth and depth of knowledge in this online course.  

It’s also easy to screen applicants to make sure you find the best ones with very little time span.

I have to zoom in and it can be cumbersome.  

Recruiting & Onboarding Manager

Reference Checks and Assessment are seemless.

Reference Checking

By industry, Checkr reviewers are most commonly professionals in religious institutions (16%). The most frequent use case for Checkr cited by reviewers is background check (65% of reviewers).

Users and use cases

Some users say Checkr offers flexible pricing and customizable features, making it cost-effective for their needs. Reviewers appreciate affordable packages, but some users report unclear pricing, hidden fees, and unexpected price increases that complicate budgeting.

Value for money

The Checkr integrations most frequently cited by reviewers are: Planning Center (a church management product rated 4.9 out of 5 for its integration with Checkr) and Paylocity (a payroll product, 4.2).

Integrations

Checkr is a background check program with key features that include background screening, a self-service portal, and more.

Checkr

Basic+

Essential

Complete

Checkr is a very user-friendly tool that can assist organizations in running background checks in compliance with federal, local and state laws.

VP of People Operations

Prior to this integration, we were using Checkr as a standalone background check system and occasionally the checks would cost more than anticipated.

I only utilize Checkr for background checks, so it's hard for me to speak to cons since I'm not utilizing every resource the platform offers.

Checkr seamlessly integrates with our HCM system, providing a quick, easy, and efficient onboarding process.

Director of HR

One thing I like least about Checkr is the lack of real-time updates or clearer communication when delays happen in the background check process.

Vice President of Human Resources

Must login into the 3rd party site to retrieve results and download report to upload into HRIS.

Engagement and Development Specialist

The platform is organized nicely, making it easy to retrieve candidate information and background check updates.

Director of Human Resources

We were able to customize packages which makes it easier for us to do our jobs.

Pastor

Background checks are a necessary part of what we do, since we have adults working with kids, and so having Checkr take care of all of that in a way that is quick and modern has been great!

The system is very user friendly and is a one stop shop for all related background checks including MVR and Social Security checks.

Sometimes the reviews can take longer than desired, but that's because of external factors, not Checkr.

Assistant HR Director

Checkr integrates easily into Paylocity which is very nice not having to switch between platforms.

It looks like they have added a 10 year look back period, but it would be nice to see more detail on the report.

Student Ministry Director

Checkr offers thorough background checks--reporting state and federal records.

They also have a great support system that you can ask questions, and they respond very quickly.

The platform is user-friendly, and the automation has helped streamline our background check process significantly.

Checkr makes background checks simple and efficient.

It is also very easy to order a background check and to customize a background check.

They have closed their support phone number and the chat / email support is slow and unhelpful.

Director of People

The convenience of the integration with our HRIS.

Independent contractor

The most inconvenient background checker; they have back office conversations and discriminate against people who are willing and have put in work.

People Operations Manager

Background checks have become mostly "set it and forget it", with any flags being easy to manage in the platform.

The integration with Paylocity was simple.

Guest Experience

Our experience is ongoing- we will continue to use Checkr for our background check needs in the future.

Satisfactory but when assistance is needed the only option is the chat which is very slow.

I believe it's the fastest and most user-friendly system and it comes at an affordable price.

It even reports things down to a traffic or parking violation.

This is another example of a software company that believes they can take all humans out of a process that requires human judgement and intervention.

owner

Also. When an invitation link has expired and a new new invitation link is sent to the candidate from Checkr website, that new link and its report results is not updated on Procare online.

Again, we love the integration piece - makes life easier.

Customer service has also been great to work with and always responds in a reasonable time.

Background checks are quick and they offer a variety of services.

Taking background way too long, my background usually takes 24-48 hours if that.

Abysmal customer service: If you are lucky enough to get someone on the phone (which is almost impossible)

With an increase in price last year, it is now as expensive as its competitors.

It appears on the surface to plug in with a lot of Google and other services.

Kids Director

The ease of process to send to volunteers, and speed in which we receive cleared check.

It seems easy enough to use with a lot of options.

it is obviously an overseas call center and not an account manager which is useless.

They just sent me a pricing pdf (which is different from what you see in your account when you are ordering your checks) that has small print saying that that there may be "additional fees."  

It didn't have what we needed but they fixed it for us once we reached out to them.

It was easy for me to get in and use it with no previous experience.

It was easy to integrate with our payroll platform Gusto.

I paid for a premium tier background check tier that included employment an education verification services.

We will be using it with all of our employees.
