While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

We have only recently starting using this system so are still trying to find our way around. It is easy to use and set up requests, but the feedback from users are that lots of information is required and they as well as myself were unsure what needed to be sent to who, with mixed emails being issued. I like the notes section and the email function that is issued when additional information is required or a check has been completed. The team and account manager are pleasant and helpful. I'm sure the process will become easier with time.
Everything was explained fully and clearly, extremely helpful staff and quick process.
Got a check that was complete bet the certificate was not sent out. 2 days later still not sent after applicant sent them an email. Cost me money.
I have been looking for something like this for while. Saved a great deal of time that I dont have and provided a clear report
We searched out Credence after issues with our previous supplier. Tony was quick efficient and with service at a reasonable price there was no reason to look elsewhere. From start to finish an efficient and professional journey
A very friendly professional and quick service.
Thank you.
The report submitted on the available details was clear, however the time took more than expected, as well I found that the process was a bit complicated not as easy as was described.
The customer service is great, very quick and responsive. The whole preprocess is efficient and excellent. All the staff are very professional, friendly and responsive.
I don’t want to judge the whole company but I had a very bad experience. Going through a background check for a job. So slow and unprofessional both doing the job and communicating with me. Asking all the information which I gave already again. If they are communicating with the referees the way they communicate with me, the process can take months. I complain about the slowness, they don’t even say sorry they response. What a …
The process was straightforward for me as an admin and for the applicants. System is easy to use and support from the account manager great.
Clear and friendly communication. Got exactly what I needed, really quickly
The background verification was performed speedily and allowed us to finalize offers and start dates. The candidates can begin working without delays thanks to your responsiveness.
