GoodHire

GoodHire (recently acquired by Checkr but heavily operating under its own massive brand identity) is the absolute undisputed king of the Small and Midsize Business (SMB) market. While Checkr targets massive enterprise API integrations, GoodHire targets the local plumbing company or independent coffee shop that just needs to run two background checks a month without signing a complex annual contract. Its user interface is universally praised as the most intuitive in the industry. A small business owner with zero HR experience can log in, enter an applicant's email address, and pay via credit card. GoodHire handles all the legally terrifying compliance paperwork. It automatically emails the applicant the federally required "FCRA Consent Form" to digitally sign, completely shielding the small business owner from massive discrimination lawsuits. It also features "Pre-Adverse Action" automation. If a background check returns a criminal hit, federal law strictly dictates exactly how an employer must notify the candidate before rejecting them. GoodHire automates this entire agonizing process, generating the legally compliant letters and enforcing the mandatory waiting periods automatically so the employer doesn't break the law.
