What is Checkr?

Checkr in San Francisco offers their artifical intelligence-driven technology platform for surfacing legally compliant and relevant employee background and identity information.

Categories & Use Cases

Background checks at lighting speeds

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it as our core background screening solution across all US operations. It's fully baked into our ATS, so checks launch automatically once a candidate accepts a conditional offer.

Pros

  • Depth and intensity of background checks
  • The comprehensive adjudication dashboard
  • I also value the candidate experience tools.

Cons

  • While Checkr is powerful, sometimes it becomes too handoff. For edge cases like international checks or roles requiring specific verification. The system doesn't always flag missing pieces early

Return on Investment

  • Our average time to hire is at around 24 hours, 3 days lower than the industry average.
  • Because candidates can track their own background check progress and submit required documents through Checkr directly, our recruiters handle much fewer follow ups.
  • immense reductions in risks from red flag hires

  • It stores data we may need to access

Great Product for ADULT background checks!

We require ALL employees to undergo an annual background check. We use this information to determine if the individual is eligible for employment with our company.

Pros

  • Look at numerous areas of a candidates background
  • Very quick with the detailed information
  • Customer service is wonderful and quick to respond to questions/problems

Cons

  • I would love to be able to run checks on minors through this platform. We have to use a different system for all minors

Most Important Features

  • Accuracy of information
  • Different areas of "life" that are checked
  • Speed of reports after individual completes their questionnaire

Return on Investment

  • We work with the MLB and our instructors have many young athletes that they train - having a clear background is a must. Without a good and accurate service, we could not do what we do. The ROI on Checkr is through the roof!
