Gets the job done but could be more cost efficient!
We use Checkr to run all of our candidates background checks during on-boarding. Checkr assisted with automation as it Integrates with our ATS and HRIS. Once a candidate signs their offer via our ATS Checkr will auto run the applicable BG check and the candidates details will become visible in our HRIS for on-boarding.

- Integrates with our HRIS
- Integrates with our ATS

Fast background checks you can trust.
We are a staffing firm and we use Checkr to complete background verification requirements for potential candidates for our clients. Background checks are a critical part of our business and Checkr has been phenomenally good at helping us do that. It is really easy to order background checks, all it takes is a few clicks. The turnaround time on these is really quick as well. And we have had no complaints come up as far as accuracy is concerned. Best of all, it integrates with our Applicant tracking system.
- Really easy to use.
- It can do a lot of different type of background verifications
- Fast turn around time.
- Its always accurate
- Integrates really well with our ATS.
- The email that goes out to our candidates sometimes ends up in Spam/Junk so email deliverability could be better.

Streamlining Your Background Screens Starts with Checkr
We use Checkr to run background screens for new hires. We were looking for a platform that seamlessly works with our HRIS and has a straightforward product offering and user interface. Checkr hits the mark on all counts.
- Integrates seamlessly with Rippling
- Easy to understand product line of screening options that are cost effective
- User interface for both the admin and job candidate is very straightforward
- I have used multiple screening vendors over the course of my career and Checkr is by far the best.
- I frequently misspell their name - dropping the second "C"...
- I really wouldn't change anything. I like their platform.

great experience
We use Checkr to perform BGV and also have built a custom solution to see the inputs added on Checkr on our internal in-house tool. The employee/new hire experience is also very smooth after we transitioned to Checker as everything before that was absolutely manual - we used to spend many hours a day processing the same for our new hires/employees
- The ETA calculation to predict when screening will complete for each background check report is good
- The SSO is a huge plus point and helps us to seamlessly login
- the chrome extension comes in super handy to add and update information
- the Background Screening tailored for various regions save a lot of time in formulating the same especially if your company is spread across multiple regions
- when a background check is pending due to an outside cause, the estimated time doesn't always get updated. but their support is super responsive and helpful
- its slightly expensive
- occasionally the tool goes down for sometime

Efficient background check vendor

- Good customer service
- Provide simpler option to send candidates a reminder

Works exactly as advertised. Great value.
We have been using checks for a bit more than 2 years now. We have used other products in the best with clients such as franchise background checks which has been nice and simple to use but Checkr seems to meet that same convenience as well as offer more thorough searches. We miss the rates we had with other background check services but feel their services are still worth it with Checkr.
- User Interface
- Pricing
- Convenience
- Improve mobile reliability. Sometimes crashes.

- Automate Screenings
- Notification of Results
- Manual follow ups for employees that are missing documentation, lack of multiple reminders.

Easy to use, helpful integration
After an offer letter is signed, we conduct background checks on all employees. Checkr integrates with our HRIS, Rippling, so checks are initiated as an employee is onboarding. It's very smooth.
It's important to us to hire individuals without problems with drugs or alcohol since they're operating very dangerous and heavy machinery. Checkr helps calm our fears a bit.

Great Partnership
Used to screen workers who apply to utilize our platform to find work. Helps us scale our recruiting efforts
- Automation of BG check process
- Candidate communication/support
- Product enhancements
- Work on lowering BG check fees in high cost states (i.e. NY)
- Resist the temptation to inject politics into discussions regarding new products - - very bad taste in my mouth from some comments made by a member of the expungement product team during her pitch. The comments were politically charged and unnecessary. Happy to provide more detail if necessary
