The roadmap for future functionality and offerings is also impressive.

The team are great to deal with, very personable and down to earth. The tool is easy to use, set up and manage. I'm glad I found Checkmate and will be using the tool for a long time to come.
Pros: I have really enjoyed how easy and accessible this tool is. With the level of security in place at my company, Checkmate have made the background checking process seamless. The UI is clean and, for the level of service, they provide great value for money.
Cons: I have been using the product for the last 6 months and, as yet, I've experienced no significant challenges. Anything I didn't understand during initial set-up was addressed and resolved by the superb Customer team immediately.

maria auxiliadora m. · tecnico judiciario · Law Practice · August 12, 2021
Overall experience was ok..You can find out a lot..The money you got to pay is not worth it when it gets the info wrong on the person .But they are good about giving you the money back
Pros: Well I like best about this software is it is so EASY TO USE.Really common sense to use this..You can find out alot
Cons: What I like the least is some of the information is incorrect because a lot of the info on me was most definitely incorrect.
Misty B. · Bartender · Restaurants · December 27, 2020
Pros: We find checkmate very easy to use, It makes our pre employment check process quicker, easy and more streamlined.
Cons: They are continuing to grow this product, offering more pre employment other then just reference checks which is great.
Melanie S. · HR Advisor · Retail · May 6, 2020
We have seen a number of benefits through CheckMate including, but not limited to cost savings, increased candidate and referee experience, reduced follow up time due to automatic reminders via email and text to candidates and referees, openness to introducing new features based on customer feedback. We have also seen an increase in completion of reference checks.
Pros: Ease of use for both internal users and candidates and referees has been a big positive. The mobile optimisation available to candidates and referees leads to a positive user experience. Ability to build customised reference templates for specific roles enables us to have a unique approach. CheckMate is integrated with our applicant tracking system which allows information to be available through one source. The support we have received has been fast and efficient. The CheckMate team are open to suggestions and feedback and are able to implement changes quickly. The pricing of the software is extremely competitive in the market.
Cons: Anything extra we have needed has been implemented through new releases over time.
Nicole W. · Senior Recruitment Advisor · Telecommunications · May 1, 2020
Fantastic - [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has very much partnered with us to ensure we are receiving the best possible experience and maximising the software to its fullest.
Pros: The ease of use of the software, the ability to integrate with our ATS system, the local and hands on account management support, and not to forgot how user friendly it is for both candidates and referee's to complete.
Cons: Nothing springs to mind. I think the software is brilliant and [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is absolutely open to receiving feedback on possible tweaks.
Louise H. · Talent Acquisitions Manager · Utilities · April 30, 2020
Excellent. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] responds quickly and is able to help with any minor issue we have had with our own internal systems. More than helpful and very generous when we were trialing the product to ensure it worked for part of our organization that we were trialing it on.
Pros: The product is easy to use, you can customize your template and you don't spend hours of wasted time try to contact the referee as they can complete the template in the time that suits them. The time it traditionally takes for references to be completed has reduced significantly.
Cons: Just the number of reminder messages - but Checkmate is very open to feedback and looking to always improve processes.
Marika T. · Recruitment Team Leader · Non-Profit Organization Management · April 29, 2020
Excellent to deal with, great that they are looking at the market and seeing what else the can offer.
Pros: It made doing reference checks a breeze and gave them the consistency that they required.
Cons: N/A suits our purpose. They have also integrated into out recruitment software
Brent W. · Human Resources Business Partner · Telecommunications · April 28, 2020
Pros: We were able to customize it to our very specific reference process. We also were able to brand it specifically to our company.
Cons: The price is still very affordable, but in the first few months of using we saw several price hikes.
Brandon M. · Manager of Talent Acquisition · Hospital & Health Care · February 26, 2020
Pros: Since using Checkmate, we've been able to hire more candidates, take on more clients, and most importantly spend time in more pressing areas. To date we've turned 26 referee's into candidates that we've now placed - through them showing interest and openness for new roles within the questionnaire!
Cons: Best addition to our process since we started!
Ethan S. · Project Manager · Real Estate · August 28, 2019
Pros: I really enjoyed how intuitive and efficient the software is to use throughout the entire process. I work in a very fast-paced environment where time is money, and Checkmate's simplicity and ease of use is a game-changer. Being able to easily and quickly create checks, and then monitor everything in a simple dashboard is great.
Cons: I have nothing negative to say about the software.
Anonymous User · Sales Engineer · Information Technology and Services · August 26, 2019
Pros: Saved our team a lot of time chasing referees, we recruit a lot from overseas so the ability to SMS and email them anywhere was a great help.
Cons: Doesn't integrate with our ATS right now, but hopefully will in future.
Manuel D. · HR Director · Human Resources · May 20, 2019
Pros: We found Checkmate to be super efficient and cost-effective solution for streamlining the reference checking process. By using this product, we've managed to save an incredible amount of time wasted chasing both candidates and potential referees. Every aspect of the product was designed with the hiring managers, candidates and referees best interests at heart.
Cons: The only minor downside was that the product didn't integrate with Talent App Store, but that is a feature they are going to be rolling out later this year.
Anonymous User · Architectural Designer · Design · May 19, 2019
Pros: We recruit in a high volume and high turnover workforce and Checkmate has really helped to streamline an important part of the process. It's reduced our talent teams workload and turn around time considerably. Also, being mobile our candidates and referees can do everything from their phone which is a huge help.
Cons: We'd like to be able to automate follow up questions if/when needed, which I believe is a feature they're looking into building
Anonymous User · Director · Staffing and Recruiting · May 17, 2019
Pros: Checkmate has really helped our hiring strategy, we've started conducting the checks earlier in our recruiting process, allowing us to use the checks in support of our final decision, rather than when we only reference checks upon offer. By doing so we've been able to use the insight from the check alongside other assessment tools to make more informed hiring decisions
Cons: We weren't able to have multiple users, however, I was told this is being developed in the coming months.
Anthony D. · Adviser · Insurance · May 17, 2019
We hire high volume roles and we have seasonal variance so this is a great tool to assist with streamlining the process for everybody, it's easy for the candidate and referees which is important to us.
Pros: I really liked how easy it was to get set up and start using the system, we had urgent roles we were hiring and we could get these references completed within a few hours. The ability to control our brand was a really unique cool feature, and being able to design our questionnaires allowed me to tailor them to the unique roles we often hire. Being able to do everything via SMS and on mobile is also an awesome feature! The service was really helpful, and always available to answer any questions I had.
Cons: The only con was that the system didn't integrate with our recruiting system, however, this is currently being built and expected in the coming months.
Anonymous User · Recruitment Coordinator · Human Resources · May 14, 2019
Pros: The overall experience using Checkmate was extremely positive. From their easy-to-use platform to their extensive range of features; including a custom form builder, industry-specific questionnaires, mobile notification and live sharing, to their extensive report generated at the end of the process. Checkmate takes care of the entire process. All I did was enter a few details to begin with and their system did the rest.
Cons: To be honest, there wasn't really anything to fault about this product.
