## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-25 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd actually rank these, because the right answer splits on *where* your remote people are:
> 
> ## If your remote team is mostly US-based
> 
> **1. Checkr** - my default recommendation. Mobile-first candidate portal (candidates complete consent and ID from a phone, no office visit, no paperwork), self-serve signup so you're not stuck in an enterprise sales cycle, and by far the deepest ATS/HRIS integration library. Basic packages start around $30/check. It also does international screening in 200+ countries, so you don't have to switch providers when you hire your first person abroad. ([Checkr](https://checkr.com/resources/articles/best-background-checks), [pricing](https://pricingnow.com/question/checkr-pricing/))
> 
> **2. GoodHire** - the better pick if you hire in low volume and irregularly. Pure per-check pricing with no monthly minimum, three clean tiers (roughly $30 / $55 / $90 per check), and a genuinely good candidate-facing experience. For a 15-person team hiring four people a year, this beats a platform subscription.

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
