HireRight overview

What is HireRight?

HireRight is a background screening platform, which enables organizations to perform employment data verification such as criminal record and health checks before recruiting candidates. HR professionals can gain insights into the latest hiring trends and opportunities, create job baselines, and define best practices.

HireRight conducts global searches across multiple public media sources and ID documents while adhering to local regulatory and compliance standards. Employers can use the dashboard to identify, view, and analyze the progress of the ongoing screening process through charts and graphs. Recruiters can also determine background check volume, turnaround time, criminal hit rates, and more using the key performance indicators (KPIs). It facilitates businesses in selecting candidates by monitoring the applicant’s behavior and information available publicly on social media.

HireRight offers integration with various third-party applicant tracking systems (ATS), including Workday, ADP VirtualEdge, Jobvite, PageUp, and Oracle. Candidates can use personalized portals to communicate with the hiring company, request for live help, receive email alerts for the requirement of documentation or signatures, and access resources or FAQs.

Cons
“Yes, HireRight integrates with many platforms which is attractive and offer a variety of services but I would not recommend HireRight due to their poor service quality and constant issues we experience.”

“Long waiting time for most of the tasks specially customer support & enabling the reference checks.”

Head of Talent Acquisition - APAC

“Overall it's waste of money for the startup companies and very complex in nature as their internal team SLA is 48 hours to enable the reference check itself.”

Integration rating: 3.5 (2)

Dayforce - Ceridian is our HR/Payroll system. We tried using their scheduling component, but it did not meet our needs. Now, I have to enter the front line staff schedule in Ceridian every pay period.

Hard to set up and costly, but great to have QuickBooks reporting connected to Paylocity for Payroll.

Our entire HR/Benefit/Payroll suite is housed in Paylocity so the ClearCo integration was amazing to have automation from ATS to flow into Paylocity to save time for our team.
