Pros

“Checkr is a very user-friendly tool that can assist organizations in running background checks in compliance with federal, local and state laws.”

Victoria W.

HR Generalist

“Their entire background check process is so easy for our internal team to initiate and manage, and also very quick and painless for our new hires.”

Tyra O.

People Operations Specialist II

“Prior to this integration, we were using Checkr as a standalone background check system and occasionally the checks would cost more than anticipated.”
