About Checkr
Checkr is a cloud-based screening solution designed to help businesses of all sizes manage background verification for employees and job applicants. The platform enables users to streamline workflows, add new users, share candidate records with review team, and insert multiple checks at different stages of recruitment.
Checkr comes with a centralized dashboard, which displays a colour-coded status for every screening performed for each candidate. Features include in-house monitoring, information encryption, third-party testing, real-time audit logs, and data source tracking. Its screenings management feature facilitates checks for Social Security Number (SSN) trace, criminal records, credentials verification, drugs, and more. Besides, its artificial intelligence-based (AI) system automatically classifies records based on FCRA, EEOC and other state regulations.
Checkr enables hiring managers to pull consumer credit reports for verifying financial performance and get insights into credit accounts, liabilities, late payments, charge-offs, and public records. The platform integrates with various applicant tracking systems and third-party applications such as Oracle, Kenexa, Workday, and Greenhouse.

Easy and simple
Reviewed on 12/02/2023
Pros
This software delivers background check results fairly quickly and they send a copy of everything in detail to the candidate.
Cons
The website is mostly easy to navigate but there should be an app as well.

I love it and I want to always be using it whenever I have to run a background check.
I love it and I want to always be using it whenever I have to run a background check.
Pros
The big thing is that Checkr integrates with Greenhouse. It makes running and keeping track of these checks easy without having to hop into another system for tracking.
Cons
I can't think of anything, everything is super great and support has been helpful.

GoodHireReasons for Switching to Checkr
We took suggestions from our staff and they had really great things to say about Checkr. I've also worked at other companies before and Checkr is hands down the easiest and quickest to fill out. HireRite and GoodHire asked for info that I wouldn't have because a past company has either closed or have had several rounds of layoffs.- Industry: Consumer Services

Waste Of Time and Money
Reviewed on 19/06/2024
It was disappointing in many areas and I would not use them again.
It was disappointing in many areas and I would not use them again.
Pros
I can't say I liked anything about my experience with Checkr.
Cons
You can't speak to any customer service representative. All email or chat. Background took a long time, weeks, and they kept pushing the date back. In addition, it only went back 7 years which I was not aware of so it did not help. Someone could have been a serial killer 8 years ago and you would not know it. It was a complete waste of time and money. Would never use this company again.

Great choice for Planning Center integration
Reviewed on 07/02/2022
Pros
We use this as an integration with Planning Center to background check our many volunteers. It is quick and easy to use. I like that it provides an estimate of when the background check will be completed, allows you to cancel the invitation, and provides tags to filter the information for easy budget tracking.
Cons
The thing I wish they would change most is remove lines that contain cancelled invitations. It is a waste of space. I would also like to see the tags as a column on the Candidates page.
