GoodHire

What is GoodHire?

GoodHire is an easy, fast background check service for small and mid sized businesses, now a Checkr company. Founded in 2013, it focuses on making screening simple and quick for employers without dedicated screening teams, with a clear, user friendly dashboard, fast results, and strong support. Employers order checks, candidates complete a simple process, and GoodHire returns clear, reliable reports with compliance handled, integrated with common ATS and HRIS platforms. Praised for simplicity, speed and support, GoodHire is designed so small and mid sized businesses can screen candidates confidently without complexity. For easy small business background checks, it is a leading choice.

GoodHire's distinction is simplicity, speed and support tailored to small and mid sized businesses. It stands out for an easy dashboard, quick turnaround, and notably strong customer support, outscoring larger providers on user satisfaction, so smaller employers get a smooth screening experience. That focus on ease and support for SMBs, backed by Checkr's technology, makes it a favourite in that segment.

Who GoodHire is best for

GoodHire is best for small and mid sized businesses that want easy, fast, reliable background checks with strong support, without enterprise complexity. It suits employers without dedicated screening teams. It is a weaker fit for very large enterprises needing the deepest global reach and extensive check types, where HireRight, Sterling or First Advantage fit, or platforms needing a heavy API, where Checkr fits better.

Key features

The core strengths are a simple, clear dashboard, fast turnaround, reliable reports, and strong customer support, with compliance handled. GoodHire offers a range of checks, a smooth candidate experience, and ATS and HRIS integrations, backed by Checkr's technology. Its ease of use, speed, support, and fit for small and mid sized businesses are its defining advantages.

GoodHire pricing

GoodHire uses per check pricing, with basic packages starting around 30 US dollars and more comprehensive packages costing more, plus a free trial and transparent, pay as you go options suited to small businesses. International and additional checks add cost. Total cost depends on hiring volume and checks per candidate. Model your volume. Confirm current figures on the GoodHire pricing page.

Integrations and ecosystem

GoodHire integrates with common applicant tracking systems and HRIS platforms, so small and mid sized employers can order checks and see results within their hiring tools, and as a Checkr company it benefits from Checkr's technology and integration capabilities. Its integrations fit screening smoothly into SMB hiring workflows.

GoodHire and support

Support is a signature strength: GoodHire scores notably higher than many larger providers on support quality, with responsive, helpful service that small businesses value, since they often lack dedicated screening expertise. For SMBs that want reliable help alongside easy, fast checks, this strong support is a key reason to choose GoodHire.

Ease of use and support

GoodHire is praised for ease of use, a clear dashboard and fast setup, with simplicity and speed standing out, backed by its strong support. Its G2 reviews highlight simplicity, reliable information and support, with less global reach and fewer check types than enterprise providers the main consideration for the largest needs.

Is GoodHire worth it?

For small and mid sized businesses that want easy, fast, reliable background checks with strong support, GoodHire is an excellent, well liked choice. The main caution is that very large enterprises needing the deepest global reach and check types may prefer HireRight, Sterling or First Advantage, and platforms needing a heavy API may prefer Checkr, but for SMB screening GoodHire stands out.
