Checkr
HR & People · checkr.com
Overview
Checkr is a background-check and identity-verification platform that combines AI with human review to deliver criminal history, employment/income, identity, driving record, and drug-screening checks. It is used across workforce hiring, gig/marketplace onboarding, tenant screening, and mortgage/insurance verification, with an API-first architecture and 100+ pre-built ATS/HRIS integrations.
The problem Checkr solves
Companies with high-volume or gig-style hiring need background checks that plug directly into their existing ATS/HRIS and return results quickly, but legacy screening vendors are often slow and hard to integrate. Checkr addresses this with an API-first, widely-integrated platform that reviewers rate as easy to use and typically faster than prior vendors, though buyers should budget for per-report/add-on pricing that can add up and expect variable support responsiveness on international or edge-case checks.
