Over the last 3 weeks I've had to endure the horrible invasive probing done my HireRight, which they somehow call a background check. I've had to provide bank statements, passport, travel documents, utility bills, character references, etc covering any and everything I've done in the last 5 years. Yet they still keep asking for more information. I've responded to all their request so far, providing all the documents they requested within a few hours or by the next day, but I'm reaching my limit now.

They were courteous enough at the beginning, however they got progressively worse with each request, to the point where I now think the customer service is terrible. I think they could be more compassionate to the people they're doing these checks on, given the depth of information they're asking for and because it dates back 5 bloody years!!!

I was really excited about starting my new job, but they're sucking all of the joy out of it. I am waiting to hear about another job I interviewed for, which is similar position. If I do get that position, then I would consider turning down this role, just because of the horrible experience I've had with HireRight, that is, once I'm sure that company doesn't use HireRight too.

If I stick it out with the current company and their HireRight checks, then I will be sure to let this employer know just how rubbish I think HireRight is and suggest they consider using another company or ask them to reduce the depth of the checks they do, as I would only expect this if I was going to work for the CIA or MI5.

In the future I will be sure to ask which company my employer uses for their background checks, because I want no further contact with HireRight.

In summary, I would not recommend Hire Right to a friend.
