Checkr provides background check services primarily for businesses, staffing agencies, and recruiters. Their platform allows clients to conduct thorough background screenings to verify potential employees' histories, which is especially important in high-risk industries. The service operates on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, where clients subscribe to access features like a user-friendly dashboard, compliance resources, and partner integrations. This makes it easier for clients to manage their background check processes. Checkr also offers educational resources to promote fair hiring practices. The company generates revenue through subscription fees and charges for each background check performed. A unique offering is Checkr Assess, which helps clients significantly reduce talent acquisition costs. The goal of Checkr is to help businesses hire trustworthy employees while ensuring fair hiring practices.
