Checkr

Checkr provides background check software for employers and staffing platforms, automating criminal record checks, motion vehicle record checks, drug screening coordination, and identity verification. The platform uses machine learning to classify and adjudicate criminal records faster than traditional manual review, aiming to reduce turnaround time from days to minutes. It serves businesses ranging from gig economy and on-demand labor platforms to large enterprises and staffing agencies that need to screen high volumes of candidates. Checkr integrates with applicant tracking systems and HR software through APIs, allowing companies to embed background screening directly into their hiring workflows. The company also emphasizes compliance with fair hiring laws, including tools designed to support adjudication decisions that align with regulations like the Fair Credit Reporting Act and local ban-the-box requirements.
