Hiresafe and Al Firato have issues with Confidentiality and Customer Service. Do not recommend. **Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 01, 2020 **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. **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. **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. **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. ### 2. HireSafe experience as a HR Generalist **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** PRIYA S. | Human Resources Generalist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 12, 2018 **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. **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. **Recommendations to others considering HireSafe:** I would highly recommend Hire Safe to any other HR working on onboarding **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 ### 3.

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. **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 ### 4.
