What Our Clients Say About Us

Quality of support

“The 24/7 customer service is a huge plus, resolving any issues within less than twenty-four hours, sometimes even within two to three hours, especially for urgent verifications. Overall, it significantly speeds up the process from thirty days to about a week. I also like that it’s easy to set up and use.”


– G2 reviewer

Ease of use

“I really appreciate how Accurate Background makes our verification process more effective and faster than manual checking. The efficiency is great because the information we need is readily available by downloading a report, and it provides clarity on when and why adjudication is required.”

Trusted screening partner

“I really like that we’re truly partnered with our rep, Armida Steel. I consider her an extension of my HR team because she helps me with critical updates and keeps our university informed of changes. We’ve also had really good experiences with Accurate Background’s sponsor training, especially around immigration status and I-9 completion — the best training I’ve ever attended on that matter. “

– G2 reviewer

Nationwide retailer Ross Stores completes background checks in 1.5 days on average with Accurate.
