"Hiresafe and Al Firato have issues with Confidentiality and Customer Service. Do not recommend."

0.5/5

What do you like best about HireSafe?

Company' reports are accurate, pricing is ok and turned around in a timely fashion. Other than that I did not like anything else about Al Firato's Hiresafe services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HireSafe?

Website is does not perform as described. Twice the owner, Al Firato, stated that confidential employee information would be disclosed to the public. Seriously? Customer service is unhelpful, condescending and rude. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering HireSafe:

I would strongly suggest othesr considering HireSafe to do their own research. Call and talk to the owner (he's also their only front facing employee). This will give you a good feel of his angry attitude.

Confidentiality of employee information submitted to HireSafe may not be as secure as you think.

Website does not work as advertised, so make sure you ask for a trial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HireSafe solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are required to complete background checks and drug tests on employees. After our first month we found some bugs on their website. Rather than addressing them, we recieved rude messages from the owner Al Firato. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"HireSafe experience as a HR Generalist"

4.5/5

What do you like best about HireSafe?

Easily customizable interface according to client requirements. It's a really easy and quick tool to enter in the new candidate information and get them processed. They have a pretty quick turn around and the user end features are easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HireSafe?

It does not have a drug test option linked to hiresafe. The cost of the product is on higher side for small companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering HireSafe:

I would highly recommend Hire Safe to any other HR working on onboarding Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HireSafe solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using hiresafe for background checks for new candidates. It is very easy and organized to refer to the past background check records. Helped to ease the hiring process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool to get the people you need ready to work"

4.5/5

What do you like best about HireSafe?

It's a really easy and quick tool to enter in the new candidate information and get them processed. They have a pretty quick turn around and the user end features are easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HireSafe?

I wish they had a mobile app or a more mobile friendly website when viewing but I get for security purposes that might not be possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering HireSafe:

This is a really nice software tool. If you've been using another 3rd party background check processor and it's taking too long to process this could be a really good product to consider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HireSafe solving and how is that benefiting you?

Processing a high amount of new candidate background checks. The software keeps it all organized so I don't necessarily have to keep track. I do keep track with my own records, but the software also does it for you Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"HireRight has some great tools for you to utilize ! "

4/5

What do you like best about HireSafe?

HireRight's onboarding is pretty fantastic, not to mention that it was a great platform to do the background checks- fast and efficiently! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HireSafe?

It was pretty expensive when we used it in the past. If it wasn't for the cost- we would have probably kept using it. I know the HR team really liked it- but cost really didn't make it the best option for us to keep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering HireSafe:

I think it has a pretty seemless Background Check process- one of their best qualities! I think it has alot of very seemless and easy-to-use qualities that make it such a good platform to have at a company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HireSafe solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had all of our HR needs in one place- easy to use and track! It was nice being able to find anything and everything that we needed- right at our fingertips! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
