How Long Does a Background Check Take?
Every candidate’s history is different, and there are different turnaround times for different types of background checks. Some can take a few hours, or a few days, and sometimes longer.

At GoodHire, we continually work to improve our background screening services for employers. Recently we added enhanced compliance support, new service offerings and workflow improvements to automate and streamline your background check process. Here a few highlights of the 10 most important new services and enhancements we added in 2017.
GoodHire is proud to help more than 70,000 businesses build great teams through an easy-to-use platform, industry-leading compliance, an award-winning candidate experience, and excellent U.S. customer support—in fact, we just celebrated the opening of our new operations center in Omaha, Nebraska, where our highly-trained “Goodies” help ensure your employment background checks go smoothly.
Our Product, Design, and Engineering teams have continued to add many great innovations and improvements to the GoodHire application and API throughout the year to ensure our background check products and services not only meet our customers’ needs, but also exceed their expectations.
While we accomplished a LOT this year across 23 major releases, here are a few highlights of the most important new services and enhancements we added during the last year:
We’re making it easier for customers to stay compliant among increasing EEOC oversight and the ever-changing legal landscape, while still having the ability to make fair hiring decisions based on accurate records.
We’ve expanded many of our search and record check capabilities to enable customers to quickly and easily complete comprehensive employment screening.
We know how important it is for our customers to automate and streamline as many aspects of the background check workflow as possible, so we continue to add new features and enhancements to further simplify the screening process and manage our customers’ unique organizational structures.
While 2017 was a great year for GoodHire, 2018 is already shaping up to be just as exciting! We have a number of major initiatives in development that we are certain will help our customers get even more out of their employment screening programs, while staying ahead of the complex hiring legal landscape. Stay tuned!
