What their customers say

Quotes from people at Checkr's customers.

“We do roughly 600 background checks each year. Checkr has saved us nearly $10 per check, which has been a huge win for us,”

Helen Quinones · People Director · Sailormen Inc. (Popeyes)

“Oftentimes we're moving so quickly to hire candidates. Working in fast food, you need that person yesterday and having Checkr and Workstream working together, we know we can get people onboard quickly,”

Helen Quinones · People Director · Sailormen Inc. (Popeyes)

“With the help of Checkr's adjudication tools, we can easily ensure the safety and compliance of our team members. Their well-being is our top priority, alongside their enjoyment of working with us. By allowing individuals to provide further details about their background check, we are able to make fair and unbiased decisions.”

Helen Quinones · People Director · Sailormen Inc. (Popeyes)

“In the quick-service restaurant industry we want to provide opportunities for everyone, regardless of their background,”

Helen Quinones · People Director · Sailormen Inc. (Popeyes)

“The reason that we ultimately decided to sign with Checkr and are so happy that we did is that it is just so simple to use. It allowed us to move away from paper, so candidates only have to provide us with their email address which feels so much safer. Checkr also worked with us to meet our needs, and that wasn't something we found with other providers.”

Helen Quinones · People Director · Sailormen Inc. (Popeyes)

Sarah Hayden · Director of Risk Management

“The Checkr platform is so easy to use compared to everything else in our tech stack. It’s honestly a relief when we get to log into Checkr.”

Shenandoah Davis · CEO and Co-Founder

“We run 5,000 to 6,000 background checks per year. It used to take 7-10 days. We are at a day or less now with Checkr. Which is important, because we need staff yesterday!”

Megan Graves · Director of Talent & Engagement

““It’s nice for our hiring managers who aren’t in Checkr to be able to get notified of their candidate’s background check status. Checkr makes it much easier when we have a high volume of employees starting at the same time because it’s all in one system.””

Avery Davis · HR Generalist · Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD)

““The experience has become even easier over the past year,” Avery says. “I can handle what I need online, and when I have reached out, the team has always been responsive.””

Avery Davis · HR Generalist · Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD)

““Checkr was the first background check platform I used, and it has worked so well that we’ve stayed with it,” Avery says. “It’s reliable, straightforward, and works well for our team.””

Avery Davis · HR Generalist · Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD)

““I would 100% recommend Checkr. I’ve already recommended it to friends and colleagues, and I’ll probably never use another background check company.””

Erin Wood · Recruitment Specialist · HomeTown Services

““Anytime we have an issue, we go through the chat on Checkr itself, and I've had no issues,"”

Erin Wood · Recruitment Specialist · HomeTown Services

Erin Wood · Recruitment Specialist · HomeTown Services

““The drug screening process has been smooth with Checkr, and I haven’t experienced any issues,””

Erin Wood · Recruitment Specialist · HomeTown Services

““It ended up that the new provider wasn't working out the way that we thought it was, and the three of us missed Checkr very much. And so we came back.””

Erin Wood · Recruitment Specialist · HomeTown Services

““Our decision to switch wasn't anything against Checkr in any way, shape, or form,””

Erin Wood · Recruitment Specialist · HomeTown Services

“With Checkr’s API and toolset, we can quickly and effectively background large numbers of operators (workers). They’re a long-term, strategic partner for us.”

Noah Labhart · Co-founder and CTO · Veryable

Derek Dostal · Vice President of Talent Acquisition · TDIndustries

““They even come and thank us for getting the checks done quickly,””

Derek Dostal · Vice President of Talent Acquisition · TDIndustries

“The smoothness of the background check integration process shocked me because it went so smoothly. I was prepared for it to take several months. Instead it was more like turning on a light switch and we were done. And we haven’t had any problems to date.”

Derek Dostal · Vice President of Talent Acquisition · TDIndustries

““Checkr saves us about 40 hours a week just in processing time by the recruiting team,””

Derek Dostal · Vice President of Talent Acquisition · TDIndustries

Derek Dostal · Vice President of Talent Acquisition · TDIndustries

““Shortening the process is absolutely critical so that the experience for all new hires and candidates is as strong as possible—and so they know they're joining the proper company,””

Derek Dostal · Vice President of Talent Acquisition · TDIndustries

“We’re able to hire larger workforces with less manual intervention, which means lower overhead costs and a better experience for my employees, who are not having to work longer hours, be on the phone more, or respond to more emails.”

Brad Talwar · Co-founder and CEO · TalentBurst

“Checkr has given us an outstanding candidate experience by providing an easy-to-use tool. It has been incredibly helpful for me and the rest of our HR team to be nimble, adaptable, and flexible. Checkr has allowed us to hire the best candidates and feel confident about the employees we are bringing on board. As we know in today's job market, turnover is very costly, and retention is essential. Therefore, ensuring that we hire the best candidates is crucial, and Checkr helps us achieve that goal.”

Erin Doehring · Human Resources Director · TAL Building Centers

“As a result, we were able to implement those employment verifications using Checkr. This ensures compliance moving forward with our Driver Qualification files, and we can be confident that we are in good shape with DOT and FMCSA regulations.”

Erin Doehring · TAL Building Centers

“Checkr took the initiative to understand the vehicles we drive and our drivers' expectations. After listening to us, they were able to provide us with helpful guidance, such as identifying a gap in our pre-employment DOT employment verification,”

Erin Doehring · TAL Building Centers

“It can take a matter of minutes to complete a MVR with Checkr versus the two weeks that it took on average previously with our old partnership,”

Erin Doehring · TAL Building Centers

“Checkr Assess is very fluid and provides us with the ability to rely on the automation that’s built into Checkr to do the heavy lifting for us. The ability to have comfort and assurance that the information we receive is accurate and truthful, along with the knowledge that we are in compliance when navigating the adverse action process, has had a positive impact on our hiring process.”
