I started background check on 1/20/2024… I started background check on 1/20/2024 with initial estimated completion date of late January which came and passed. I also had a start date of 2/19 which has came and went as well ! I’m waiting one court clearance from Clark county. On 89 percent complete for weeks . I have contacted hire right several times with no resolve! This is the worst experience I have ever had with a background check . My hiring company is waiting for word and can’t start me until complete.

HireRight completely botched my… HireRight completely botched my background check. The company that I CURRENTLY work for was acquired by a larger group but remained under the same name. This information was provided to HireRight and they still completed my background showing a 5 year gap work discrepancy. No geniuses I still work for the same company only the ownership group changed. When verifying my education they contacted a school in Ohio. I have never even visited a state that touches Ohio much less gone to school there. If I could give the company less stars I certainly would as this has impacted me financially. The new company I was suppose to start with has pushed my hire date back until these geniuses can figure out what they are doing.

Absolutely the worst Absolutely the worst. I'm a rehire and this company has been working on my file for three weeks. I'm very responsive to request,it's my future. I had my Hazmat and twic card faster. Not sure why a compound switch from Sterling to this one. I feel like I'm in a dehydrator turning in to unemployment beef jerky.

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.

Worst Background Check Experience I've undergone multiple background checks in my life and never had any issues before, until Hire Right. All other background checking companies realize that the burden of proof is on themselves, not on the person attempting to get hired. Hire Right sent me at least 6 or 7 emails stating that "we cannot verify you worked for such and such company, send proof". I subsequently sent them the necessary tax forms and proof. Then they would email back about certain tax forms and say "we don't see the connection between the W2 and your company, please clarify if your company is associated with a different company". I believe it is obvious to say, many companies use separate companies to do their taxes and therefore will have a different name on the W2 form. I assumed a professional, high-class company such as Hire Right would possess the competence to understand this fact, and also they could have just checked the dates on the W2. But no, they email me time and time again and are asking me to do their job. This background check has basically consisted of me doing all the work for Hire Right. Hire Right should financially compensate me and everyone else who has had to get a background check from them and wasted their time. I do not ask for much. I have reasonable standards. I am patient as much as the average person. But Hire Right is incompetent. If you are a corporation looking to use a 3rd party background check company, please avoid Hire Right. One more story. I provided email addresses and phone numbers for several former bosses. Hire Right emailed me saying that they could not get in touch with them and that I would need to send a different method of contact. Seriously? How is it my problem if a former boss is not responding? I am not accountable for my former bosses. Ahhh but here is where the story gets better. I'm still good friends with one of my former bosses and we still text often. He told me that Hire Right contacted him (admittedly he didn't answer right away but he did call back and leave a message). Hire Right still emailed to say that they couldn't get in touch with him even after my boss had called back. Maybe if Hire Right had waited a minute and been patient, just as I have been patient with Hire Right, they would have seen his voicemail. Instead they immediately bombard me with emails saying they can't reach him! I stress it again. My standards are reasonable and normal. But, Hire Right is performing at a quality standard that even the most patient person would not be happy with. Hire Right, if you read this review, please consider restructuring your company protocols and methods. I have a few worthwhile suggestions: 1) No other background checking company has asked to see an old W2 or tax document. Please consult with another background checking company to see what they are doing differently and correctly. 2) Do not email us to say that you cannot reach a former boss. I called the Hire Right customer service phone number and they told me that when they have made multiple attempts to make contact with a former boss but with no success, it goes on the file as a "discrepancy" and is not an issue. Please do not bother us with emails. Simply do the work, call the former boss multiple times, and put it down as a discrepancy on the file without bothering us. We are not accountable for our former bosses. 3) Please be better and realize it is YOUR job to check our background, not our job. That is all. Thank you for reading my review!
