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.

Background checks you can trust
Checkr is our primary source of background checking for any employees who report having a criminal record. This ensures that we do not send violent offenders to the homes we complete projects on for our clients. Background checks are indepth and indicate offense types, dates, severity, etc. This is one of our greatest assets for determining whether or not a candidate is an appropriate fit for our company.

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.

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.
January 12, 2023
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

Efficient background check vendor
We use Checkr to perform background checks for all applicants, once a conditional offer has been extended. It is integrated with our HRIS. It is a seamless part of our recruiting and onboarding process. This helps us review any flags that may need to be addressed with a candidate. Checkr offers a few different levels of background screens so we can request a more in-depth report for certain positions.

Great background check option for small businesses!
We use Checkr to conduct both criminal background checks and employment verification. We used to do all of this internally, and since switching to Checkr it has freed up a tremendous amount of time that we can use to focus on other onboarding tasks. We use this service both when hiring direct employees, as well as when we hire on contract employees that come to us from a staffing service.

Speedy Background Checks
We use Checkr for background use. Once a candidate is offered a position within our organization and they sign the offer, background (Checkr) is triggered. The background process is very quick unless the candidate lived in a rural area. Therefore, may take additional time getting the documents needed to clear them.

Dependable information, quick!
We provide in-home care for the aging and disable population. Using Checkr allows us to comply with licensure minimums as well as provide our clients with a sense of security knowing we are sending vetted employees to work in their home.

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.

Checkr helps manage the load on bulk hiring!
I use Checkr to run background checks on all of our candidates. It currenlty connects to our HRIS system, Rippling.
January 10, 2023
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.

Effective and Efficient Automations, worth the cost
We use Checkr for all of our new hire background checks and MVR screenings. Checkr allows us to do both for every new hire, without all of the tedious manual involvement.
We use Checkr to run background checks for people based in the United States in the last step of the hiring process.
Checkr offers multiple levels of background check at relatively accesible prices. It is extremely easy to use with the integration on our platform, since everything is connected.
You receive a report once Checkr has finalized the background check.
Checkr is connected through an API to our hiring system, Workable.

Checkr is just what we were looking for
We use Checkr to do background checks on the employees we hire within our company. This is a great platform to do quick and easy background checks, which are required as part of our hiring process. Having the ability to safely and securely do these background checks is key for our business.

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.

Check out Checkr
We use Checkr for running background checks on our large volunteer base across the organization. So much of our programming is filled by volunteers it gives us an additional tool to safeguard our people and property. Previous background check companies were cost prohibitive, inconvenient for the person being background checked or provided delayed results. Checkr has addressed each of those concerns in a budget-friendly, streamlined and efficient background check process.

Checkr works so you don't have to
We use Checkr across our whole organization to run background checks on our employees and volunteers. We had a very manual process prior to implementing CheckR with our database software. We saved hundreds of man-hours by automating our background check process. This has freed up our staff to actually follow up with the people we are researching and the references they leave us much easier than before, as they have time to do other tasks.
