Independent research methodology
GetApp’s researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.
How GetApp verifies reviews
GetApp carefully verified over 2.5 million+ reviews to bring you authentic software and services experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.
How GetApp ensures transparency
GetApp lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. GetApp is free for users. Software and service providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider’s website.

    So far we have had a great experience with GoodHire. That fact that it integrates with our applicant tracking system, Greenhouse, has made requesting and keeping track of background checks much easier.

    Pros

    Integration with Greenhouse/ease of use and ability to select add on check options if needed.

    Cons

    Was a small challenge to set up and integrate with Greenhouse initially.

    User friendly - but terrible TAT

    Reviewed on 2019-12-05

    Pros

    I liked the platform and how easy it was to run a background check. Very user friendly.

    Cons

    TERRIBLE turnaround time. Reports take far too long to come back which would result in me losing candidates.

    Response from GoodHire

    Of course we're disappointed that you were less than satisfied with our background check turnaround times. In an effort to respond to your review, we've looked into your account and see that one of our customer support agents reached out to you directly and discussed this particular issue. Background checks play an important role in the hiring process, and we understand your frustration when issues arise -- we hope you're willing to give us another try.

    Reviewed on 2021-07-29

    Pros

    Some pros about this app that I enjoy is the candidates being able to fill in their own information. Saves a bunch of time on our end. Also this is a very easy app to use and understand

    Cons

    Not being able to run background checks without a social security number and the time it takes to complete the background check

    Response from GoodHire

    Christine,
    Thank you for your review, and for the positive feedback about your experience using GoodHire!

    With regard to your comments about candidates' Social Security numbers (SSNs), an SSN is required because it helps us ensure that we return accurate information about the right person.

    I'd also like to add that 85% of GoodHire's background checks are completed in less than one minute. Some results may take longer, particularly county checks since not all counties have digitized records. Rest assured that we are taking all necessary steps to deliver the most accurate results.

    Again, thanks for sharing your feedback, and thank you for being a GoodHire customer!
    Mike Grossman, CEO, GoodHire

    Having GoodHire integrate with our ATS and our HRIS system has allowed for seemly process during on boarding.

    Pros

    The ease and functionality of the platform make this tool very efficient for our use.

    Cons

    I wish I didnt have to click into the platform to get the information that was provided in an email. Outside of that, no other complaints
