    The updated integration between iCIMS and HireRight was a very long and lengthy process. We were however taken care of throughout the process and connected with more than just our account manager to ensure everything was being taken care of.

Only downside is the length it takes to receive a completed background but really that is out of HireRight's control due to these new laws in certain counties. They have adapted to those new laws to ensure we get the results as soon as we can.
