HireRight Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Organizations use background check software to verify the information provided by potential employees as part of seeking employment. This verification may include validation of the education history, past employment, criminal, financial, and other records. The software enables employers to track the status of ongoing background checks and securely store the information of completed background checks. Some software also provides consultation support to create customizable screening solutions. Background check software can be purchased either stand-alone or as an integrated feature within a more comprehensive recruiting software.
