    Our Story

    Two software engineers saw the need for an easier way for employers to perform background screenings. Checkr is their technological solution to a human resources challenge.

    Background screenings are transactions that rely on trust and we believe trust is based on transparency. Consumers deserve more transparency on their rights and the information in their report. Employers deserve more transparency on data, its value and their responsibilities.

    Checkr has found the way to balance safety and consumer protection. It is our responsibility to be accurate and help our clients avoid errors. Since graduating Y-Combinator in 2014, Checkr’s product has shifted the on-demand economy. We already host an elite roster of more than 3,000 customers and partners including Uber, Instacart, Handy, Zenefits, iCracked, Caviar, and more. We are looking for highly talented teammates to help us continue our growth.
