## Checkr Reviews
  ### 1. Fast, Easy Volunteer Background Checks with Checkr

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rev. Gordon K. | Senior Minister, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 16, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

We use Checkr to run background checks on volunteers who serve on our Board, in our admin roles, and with our children's ministry. Our previous service was pricey and often took up to two weeks; Checkr is reasonably priced and we usually have results within hours. Initiating a check takes just a few minutes on our end, and it's very easy for the person being checked to authorize as well. We also love the variety of checks available. Highly recommend for churches and nonprofits that screen volunteers.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

Honestly, there’s nothing I dislike about Checkr. I’ve used many different platforms over the years, and Checkr is by far the best and the easiest to use.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Checkr helps us determine whether someone is qualified to serve in a very short amount of time. Often, we can make that decision within hours rather than waiting days or even weeks.

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thank you, Gordon! We're so glad Checkr has made volunteer screening fast and affordable for your board, admin roles, and children's ministry, especially compared to your previous provider. It's great to hear the variety of checks and quick turnaround have helped you make confident decisions in hours rather than days or weeks. Thanks for taking the time to share this, and for recommending Checkr to other churches and nonprofits!



  ### 2. Easy Mobile-Friendly Candidate Intake with Seamless ATS Integration

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bret P. | Sr. Director, Talent Acquisition &amp; HR Shared Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 16, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

Checkr's UI makes things really easy for our candidates to complete consent and the background intake process where it's convenient for them - especially via mobile.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

Based on past background vendor utilization, I really don't have anything that I dislike about Checkr. We receive excellent support from our account team, and the integration process with our current ATS was simple and seamless to set up.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

When we switched background vendors to Checkr, our spend in this budget line item decreased, but even more than that, the number of problems my team encounters with candidates getting "stuck" in the intake UI/UX has also decreased substantially. It will likely never be zero, but it is now a one-off when a candidate has trouble.

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thank you, Bret! We're glad Checkr's UI has made consent and intake easy for your candidates, especially on mobile, and that the ATS integration and account support have been smooth on your end. It's great to hear switching to Checkr has both reduced your spend and cut down on candidates getting stuck in the intake process. Thanks for taking the time to share this!



  ### 3. Efficient, User-Friendly with Stellar TATs

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sarah M. | Senior Associate on the Volunteer Management Team, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2025

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

I really appreciate Checkr's exceptional turnaround times (TATs) and the way all context shared by the candidate is contained within the Checkr portal. The analytics page is highly effective for reporting progress to our senior leadership. The user experience is great, allowing our volunteers to monitor the status of their own applications. Additionally, the initial setup was extremely easy.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

We would love for there to be an internal note section that approved adjudicators could use.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Checkr helps us align with fair chance hiring by letting candidates share their story. It offers exceptional TATs and all candidate context in one portal. The analytics page helps report progress, and volunteers can monitor their application status.

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thank you for the thoughtful review, Sarah. It's great to hear the turnaround times are landing well, and that having all the candidate context in one portal makes reporting to leadership simple, right down to your volunteers tracking their own applications. 

Good news on the internal notes for adjudicators: we do have a way for adjudicators to add notes directly on a report and loop in teammates. It's not currently set up on your account, so the best next step is to reach out so we can look at enabling it for your team. Your Customer Success Manager can help with any questions and get the setup started. 

It's wonderful to hear that Checkr supports your fair chance hiring work, and we're grateful you took the time to lay all of this out! 

  ### 4. Checkr Makes Background Checks Easy, Compliant, and Fast

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 15, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

I love how Checkr is super easy to use and allows the candidates to have a self-service experience. I also love how compliant it is and it's less for our team to have to worry about in the log-run. It is super easy to integrate with our ATS, which allows our recruiting team to seamlessly hire someone. Additionally, the turnaround times are short, allowing for our new hires to not be delayed in their start dates. The pricing is also reasonable for the amount of background checks we run on a yearly basis. I also appreciate how responsive our account management team has been, and provides tools and resources so that our team can be successful. While I have not used the AI features, I am excited to continue to utilize them in the future as we continue to scale.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

The one thing about Checkr would be having the ability for the HR team to upload documents on behalf of our new hires, especially if the new hire has requested it or runs into any technical issues on their end. This has only happened a handful of times where the candidates have requested having our team upload for example W2s or paychecks on their behalf. Other than that, I genuinely have had such great experiences with Checkr!

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Checkr is solving our problem of ensuring compliance for hiring candidates who are honest, especially in our industry. As our organization continues to grow, Checkr provides several customizable options to ensure we are compliant.

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thank you so much for this review! We're glad Checkr's self-service experience, ATS integration, and turnaround times have supported your hiring without delays, and it's great to hear our account management team has been responsive and helpful as your team scales. We also appreciate your note about wanting the ability to upload documents like W2s or paychecks on behalf of new hires in specific cases, and we've shared that with our team. Thanks again for taking the time to share this!

  ### 5. Easy Dashboard, Fast Reports, and Seamless Paylocity Integration

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

Easy to use dashboard. Checkr integrates with our HRIS platform, Paylocity. The billing works on an easy to manage monthly cycle--you pay for the checks you run and nothing else. Pricing for different reports is transparent easy to access. They say reports can take anywhere from 3 to 5 days depending on the type of report and candidate location but I would say that most of our reports come back in 1-2 business days. Very rarely do we have a report take longer than 3 days and the delays are usually due to local authorities. I've only had to reach out to support twice in our two years of using them and my questions have been readily answered.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

Checkr is probably one of the premium priced background check providers but you get what you pay for. I've had no issues with support, processing reports on time, and the integration with Paylocity makes processing new hires really easy.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Checkr solves for easy to coordinate and compliant global background checks.

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thank you for such a detailed review! We're thrilled to hear Checkr's dashboard, transparent pricing, and Paylocity integration have made background checks easy to manage, and that our team has been responsive whenever you've needed support. Thanks for taking the time to share this!

  ### 6. Efficient Screening, Seamless Integration

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Stephanie M. | Beauty Adviser, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

I love how Checkr handles the entire screening process, eliminating the need for manual scheduling and registration. The turnaround time for criminal background searches is fantastic, cutting down from 10-14 days to 3-5 days. Sometimes, results are back the same day candidates register, which has allowed us to double our capacity at orientation because candidates are cleared to start earlier than expected. The Checkr implementation was outstanding, with reps guiding us through the process and providing support even after the setup was complete, making it effortless for us.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

We've had issues with the registration links. Sometimes we have candidates who do not receive the links at all and we've had to manually enter them into the Checkr system for processing. While this doesn't happen often, it does appear to be something that affects our least-tech savvy candidates.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Checkr handles our screening process, reduces background check times from 10-14 days to 3-5 days, and eliminates manual processes like registration and scheduling.

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thank you, Stephanie! We're glad Checkr has streamlined your screening process and cut turnaround times so significantly, and it's great to hear it's helped you clear candidates faster and increase orientation capacity. We also appreciate you flagging the registration link issue for less tech-savvy candidates, and we've shared that with our team. Thanks for taking the time to write this!

  ### 7. Effortless Background Checks with a User-Friendly Interface

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Irene M. | Senior Manager, People &amp; Culture, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

I use Checkr to conduct background checks for prospective new hires, and I appreciate that it allows me to conduct checks for candidates located anywhere in the USA without needing them to visit an agency or submit paperwork directly to me. The system automates this process, which is really helpful. I also like how simple the platform is to use—it's easy to teach colleagues and easy for candidates to use, with most submitting their info within just a couple of minutes.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

I don't like that the program tries to upsell me on other features/ad hoc package options. I wish I could opt out of those suggestions.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Checkr to automate background checks for candidates across the USA, eliminating the need for them to visit local agencies or submit paperwork directly. It's simple, easy to teach, and candidates complete submissions quickly.

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thank you so much, Irene! We're glad Checkr has made it easy to run checks on candidates across the country without the back-and-forth of paperwork or agency visits, and that the platform's been simple for both your team and candidates to use. We also hear your feedback on the upsell prompts for other features and packages. That's helpful to know, and we've shared it with our team as we look at ways to give users more control over what they see. Thanks again for sharing this!

  ### 8. Perfect Planning Center Integration for Easy Background Check Tracking

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Justus W. | Academic and Disciplinary Coordinator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

It integrates perfectly with planning center for all our church events and activities. All I have to do is go in and click on a person's name in planning center and I can see if they have a background check or if I need to run one. And I can click on it there to see it all.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

The only thing I can think of is that I have to change my password on a regular basis.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We need background checks on everyone who works with kids. Checkr does that great.

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thank you, Justus! We're glad Checkr's integration with Planning Center has made it so easy to track background checks right alongside your other church activities. We really appreciate you taking the time to share this!



  ### 9. Easy Setup with Detailed Background Checks

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 15, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

I really like that Checkr is very easy to use and that they often ask for feedback from users. They're also very detailed when it comes to Pro's information, which I find valuable. The search results they provide are very detailed, which helps a lot. The initial setup was easy, and there were no issues encountered. I appreciate that Checkr listens to end-users, and it's really helpful for our specific needs.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

The interface or UI/UX. I think it works fine as it is now but I think it could be improved, especially for those results who have completed a check multiple times.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Checkr helps us verify and check Pros' history with local jurisdictions to ensure they can legally work.

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thank you for the detailed feedback! We're glad the initial setup was smooth and that Checkr's search results give you the detail you need to verify your Pros' history with local jurisdictions. We also appreciate your note on the interface. We're always looking to improve there, so thank you for calling it out. We appreciate you taking the time to leave this review! 

  ### 10. Easy Background Checks with Flexible Screening Levels

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alli W. | Kids Ministry Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

It’s very easy to run background checks and view the results. I also appreciate that Checkr offers different levels of background checks, depending on what I need.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

The cost is starting to climb to be pretty high.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I help oversee our children’s ministry, and this helps us ensure the safety of our kids while also reassuring parents when they drop their children off with us. We get results pretty quickly, which makes it easier to screen potential volunteers without unnecessary delays.

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thank you, Alli! We're so glad Checkr has made it easy to run background checks and view results at the level you need, and that it's helped you keep kids safe while giving parents peace of mind at drop-off. We also hear your note on rising costs, and we appreciate you sharing that alongside everything that's working well. Thanks for taking the time to write this!

  ### 11. Seamless Drug Screening Solution

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** D'Lane T. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

I like Checkr's ease of ordering. It's convenient because I can send an order to a clinician, they fill out all their personal information, and usually, we have the UDS report within 2 to 4 days. Checkr serves as a one-stop shop for all our clinicians, regardless of their location, which is a big plus. The initial setup was seamless, and we have also integrated Checkr with our ATS system, Zoho Recruit.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

At this point, we are completely satisfied with Checkr.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Checkr is a one-stop shop for all our clinicians across various locations, making it easy to order and receive drug screen reports swiftly within days. We've switched from using multiple providers to just Checkr, streamlining our processes.

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thank you, D'Lane! We're glad Checkr has made drug screening so seamless, from easy ordering to fast turnaround for your clinicians across every location. It's great to hear the Zoho Recruit integration and switch from multiple providers has streamlined things for your team. Thanks for taking the time to share this!



  ### 12. Checking Backgrounds With Checkr

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jennifer V. | Administrative Assistant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 08, 2022

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

I like that they upload results into Planning Center quickly and that I can send the link to a new employee or volunteer directly from Planning Center. I also like that they remind the employee/volunteer to complete the background.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

Nothing! I like that they keep implementing new ways to help us navigate the onboarding process!

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Checkr is very efficient in doing our background screens and they quickly upload the results into our database!  Checkr is also great at communicating with our candidates!

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thank you for the review, Jennifer, and for coming back to update it. It's great to hear the Planning Center integration is working well for you, from the quick upload of results to sending links and the candidate reminders that keep onboarding moving. We're glad Checkr is making your screening efficient and keeping everything in one place, and we appreciate you taking the time to share!

  ### 13. Fast, Simple, and Reliable Background Checks

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Logistics and Supply Chain | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 30, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

What I like best about Checkr is how fast and easy it makes the whole background check process. It’s very straightforward to use, and I can quickly see where each candidate is in the process without having to chase updates. It also saves a lot of time compared to more manual methods, which really helps keep things moving during hiring.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

One thing that could be improved is the level of detail and clarity in some reports—sometimes they require a bit of extra review or interpretation. It would also be helpful to have more flexibility with notifications and status updates, so it’s easier to stay on top of changes without checking the platform manually.

Overall it works well, but a bit more transparency and customization would make it even more efficient.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Checkr solves the challenge of running background checks quickly and keeping everything organized in one place. Instead of going back and forth or manually tracking each candidate, it centralizes the process and gives clear visibility into where everyone stands.

This really benefits me by saving time, reducing manual follow-ups, and helping keep the hiring process moving without delays. It also makes it easier to stay compliant and ensure nothing slips through the cracks.

  ### 14. Streamlined Background Checks with Exceptional Simplicity

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

I like that Checkr is simple. The understandable and repeatable rates make it easy to use and budget for, which is important as everyone looks at costs. It also makes processing numerous applicants at once really easy, freeing up our HR team to do other work. The setup was extremely easy and intuitive, which I appreciate. I find Checkr easy to use and delivering great results that save a lot of time and money. The previous provider had gaps in customer service and responsiveness, but Checkr has solved those issues.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

I'm not sure of anything Checkr can do that it can control. Sometimes the background checks take a while. Usually, that's because the jurisdictions, the courts that have to have records pulled typically have backups or delays. Providing records to Checkr is sometimes delayed due to these external factors.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We find that Checkr automates background checks, freeing our HR team and making the process secure and efficient.

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thank you for the thoughtful review! We're glad Checkr's pricing and setup have been simple and repeatable for your team, and it's great to hear the platform has freed up your HR team's time while improving on your previous provider's responsiveness. We really appreciate you recognizing that some turnaround delays come down to jurisdictions and court backlogs outside our control. Thanks for sharing this!

  ### 15. Seamless Background Checks with Top-Notch Support

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alex K. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 16, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

I like how Checkr is simple to use and integrates with our HRIS system. The support team is easy to reach, and they even set up the system for us, which made the initial setup very easy. I appreciate that Checkr automatically sends invites to employees when they are hired, and we get the results back in a matter of days, which saves our team from having to do this manually.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

I don't have anything I don't like at this time.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Checkr helps us quickly get background checks on new hires, integrates with our HRIS to automate invite sending, and simplifies the process by returning results fast, eliminating manual work.

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thank you, Alex! We're glad Checkr's been simple to use and integrates well with your HRIS system, and that our support team made the initial setup easy. It's great to hear the automatic invite sending and fast turnaround have saved your team from manual work. Thanks for taking the time to share this!



  ### 16. Seamless ATS Integration, But Slow Results

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Valerie V. | Staffing Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 09, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

I appreciate that Checkr allows me to send background checks directly through my ATS, which makes the process easier to navigate. It reduces the time and hassle of having to log in to another platform and manually input all the candidates' information.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

The time it takes to get results back can be problematic, as there are times we've had to wait 2 weeks. This delays the hiring process and the potential loss of candidates due to the slow process of getting background checks back.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Checkr for pre-employment screening, avoiding leaving my ATS to send background checks. It's easy to navigate and reduces time by not requiring manual candidate information input.

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thank you for the review, Valerie, and for the detail on both what's working and what isn't. It's great to hear the ATS integration is saving you the hassle of a separate login and manual data entry, since that's exactly what it's built to do. On turnaround, we hear you. Completion times can vary quite a bit depending on which searches are run and how quickly the underlying sources, like individual courts, return records, and we're continually working to make that faster where we can. If it would help, we can look at what's driving the timelines on your specific searches and packages. Feel free to reach out at any time. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts! 

  ### 17. User-Friendly UI and Fast, Helpful Support—Checkr Delivers Every Time

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

Checkr's UI/ UX is super user friendly, their chat support is always fast and helpful and I have never had an issue with the performance of the platform in the hundreds of background checks I have facilitated.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

There is nothing I currently dislike about Checkr, it checks all of my boxes and I have never had desire to switch to another platform

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Checkr is helping ensure our candidates have the credentials and achievements required for the roles open at my company. Also confirming criminal and global checks as well. It is benefiting my company by ensuring we are hiring quality candidates

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thank you for sharing this! We're glad Checkr's UI has been user-friendly and that chat support has consistently been fast and helpful across hundreds of background checks. We really appreciate you taking the time to write this!



  ### 18. Extremely Simple and Fast—Reports Ordered in 5 Minutes or Less

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

It's extremely simple and quick.  I like that I can save packages that  I frequently use, and it's literally 5 minutes or less for me to get a report ordered.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

I think I've purchased an extra alias search before that I didn't want, you do have to make sure it only has things checked that you actually need!

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

When I first used Checkr it was because our payroll provider's background check system was clunky and unreliable.  I've stuck around with Checkr even though our new payroll system has a decent background check feature, because Checkr has been very reliable.

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thank you so much for sharing this! We're glad saved packages and quick ordering have made the process simple, and it means a lot that you've stuck with Checkr even after your payroll system improved its own background check feature. Your note on double-checking what's included in a package before ordering is a great tip, and we appreciate you sharing it!

  ### 19. Super Easy Setup, Clear Pricing, and Responsive Customer Success

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Vicki Y. | HR Lead, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

Super easy to set up and use, the packages and pricing are very clear. Customer success team is also responsive and helpful.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

Wish some things were more automated, setting up different codes and making sure people are in them is a little manual.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It helps us be compliant with background checks and makes it really easy to do it.

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thank you, Vicki! We're so glad setup and pricing have been clear, and that our Customer Success team has been responsive when you needed them. We also appreciate your note on wanting more automation around setting up codes and making sure people are assigned correctly. That's helpful feedback, and we've passed it along to our team. Thanks for taking the time to share this!

  ### 20. Effortless Background Checks with Seamless HR Integration

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Elizaveta K. | Freelance Human Resources Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 08, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

Checkr is very easy to use and requires minimal effort from the HR side. Most of the background check process is handled on their end, including compliance and candidate communication. Everything is clearly tracked in the system, which makes this step of hiring feel smooth and low effort.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

There is limited flexibility or customization in some cases, and you mostly have to follow their standard processes. When delays happen, there isn’t always much visibility into what’s causing them. Pricing can also add up depending on the volume and types of checks needed.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Checkr simplifies and speeds up background checks during the hiring process. It helps ensure compliance while reducing manual work and back and forth with candidates. The process is clear for both HR and candidates, results come faster, and everything is easy to track in one place. This makes hiring move quicker and removes a lot of stress from the background check stage.

  ### 23. Easy, Efficient Screening That Keeps Everything in One Place

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Recreational Facilities and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

Easy to use, efficient, and keeps all background screening information in one place, helping us make timely and informed hiring decisions.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

Some screenings take longer than expected, which can occasionally push back hiring timelines. That said, the status updates are helpful and keep the process clear, so I still feel informed while waiting.

Check'r has streamlined our hiring process by bringing background screenings and physicals together in one centralized platform. It’s improved our efficiency, reduced administrative work, and helped us move candidates through the hiring process faster.

  ### 24. Comprehensive, accurate results, and quick turnaround for background checks

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ashley P. | HR Manager, Maritime, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 08, 2025

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

After using multiple services over 25 years in HR, Checkr has the most thorough, accurate, easy to read, cost effective, and timely turnaround of any background checking company I've used.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

The only downside to Checkr is that if there are any discrepancies in the background report, they close out the report before I can submit supporting documentation from a potential new hire and so I have to re-run the report, pay for it again to be able to submit supporting documentation to address the "red flag" the found that says to "review."  When I contacted Customer Service asking why they close out the report before having a chance to submit supporting documentation for the item needed to be reviewed, they said it was just what they do and I have to run the report again.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We run a VERY thorough background check on all potential new hires due to the confidential nature of some of our projects in the maritime industry. Employees will be privy to projects that require they have a clean record so they can drive a company vehicle, access military sites/vessels, have access to a company credit card, and be able to board high profile yachts.

  ### 25. Easy Ordering and Quick Results

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kevin R. | Business Operations Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 15, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

Easy to order from. Candidates have no issues on their end. Results come back pretty quickly.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

There should be one final report showing all tests ordered. Instead, I have to download separate reports for each test.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Quickly able to run background and drug screens for new employees.

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thanks for the great review, Kevin, and for calling out how easy ordering is and how fast results come back. Your point about a single consolidated report covering every test ordered is a fair one. Today those come back as separate reports per screening, and pulling them into one view is exactly the kind of feedback our product team wants to hear. I'm making sure it gets captured on our end. We appreciate you taking the time to share it.

  ### 26. Easy-to-Use Checkr with Fast Results and Smooth BambooHR Integration

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Arianne J. | Human Resources &amp; Data Analytics Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

Checkr has an easy userface and integrates well with BambooHR, our HRIS provider. The pricing is reasonable and the results are faster than competitors.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

Customer service is not the easiest to get in touch with.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Checkr integrates with our HRIS software so that we save time.

**Reviewed Date:** July 17, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

Checkr is very fast at providing results, and the reports are well organized and easy to search.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

The search bar could be a bit more intuitive. For example, if I’m searching my reports for “Bryan” but accidentally misspell it as “Brian,” it won’t return results for both spellings.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Checkr helps us quickly assess new volunteers and staff for arrests or records that could be concerning for the roles they serve in our organization. It also supports our efforts to maintain safety.

Checkr is very thorough and quick to complete their background checks. Literally only hours from the time the applicant submits their information to when they come back with the status of the background information is incredibly fast.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

I haven't come across anything that hasn't been a challenge for us thus far.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are in Children's Ministry so safety is of the utmost importance. We utilize Checkr to help safeguard against any potential individuals with nefarious intentions.

**Reviewed Date:** May 23, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

I like Checkr's ease of usability and the reporting dashboard they provide. It's valuable to me because it does not waste my time. I already know what I'm going to get back and how to review it. The dashboard also offers clear capability in providing background information that I need to either check into or not. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy, even for those that are novice.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

Nothing that comes to mind

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Checkr for background screening and compliance management in hiring. It saves time, provides ease of usability, and a clear reporting dashboard for reviewing background information.

**Reviewed by:** Kayley H. | Creative Project Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 09, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

It was super easy to set up and integrate with our other systems. We use it in connection with our Planning Center account, and it makes it simple to ensure all of our volunteers and staff receive regular background checks. The information we receive is easy to decipher, clearly presented, and well organized.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

There is nothing specific that comes to mind.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Checkr allows our team to regularly run background checks on staff and volunteers, and it makes it easy to clearly track each individual’s status.

The ease of logging into Checkr to get Onboarding documents.

Checkr is putting the time back in my day by checking references.

**Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

I find the Checkr system user-friendly and easy to navigate. Being in HR, where the goal is to move efficiently and accurately, Checkr makes this an easy process. It also integrates with Paylocity with ease.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

I received a significantly increased bill due to several unknown fees. There were several county fees, and we had a plan that was not comprehensive for our bulk background checks. However, Checkr was able to change our contract and lower the rates per background check.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Checkr for running background checks to ensure employees meet our guidelines for prehire and continued employment. The system is user-friendly and easy to navigate, making HR processes efficient and accurate.

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

The ease of user interface. I also love the ease of setting up different package configurations, the estimated completion times, and the chat feature for quick help.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

The international background checks have been a headache and being able to get in contact with international support takes a long time!

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Its solving the background checks and automating the reference checks for us. This saves time and keeps all the information in one place.

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thank you for the review, and for calling out both what's working and what isn't. It's great to hear the interface, the package configuration setup, the estimated completion times, and the chat support are all making things easier for your team. On the international side, we hear you. International checks can be more complex and slower to turn around, and getting quick support on them should be easier than it has been for you. That feedback is useful and we're sharing it with the right team. If you'd like us to look into the specific international checks or support experience you've run into, please reach out and we'll be glad to help. We appreciate you taking the time to share!

  ### 36. Easy to understand UI, Needs Improvement with Customer Support and Third Party Vendor alignment

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 01, 2023

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

Newest Dashboard has the ability to save preset filters. 

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

There will sometimes be out of network drug screens ordered no matter how many times we put in a request not to get these added. It will be helpful if there is a setting so this can be turned off. 

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Background Check is scalable and connected using an API which automates our background check ordering process. Same goes for drugscreens.

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thanks for the review, and for coming back to update it. It's good to hear the newest dashboard is working for you, especially being able to save preset filters. On the out-of-network drug screens, that's a specific and fair point, having screens added after you've asked for them not to be is exactly the kind of thing that shouldn't keep happening, and a way to control that would make sense. We're passing this along to the right team. If you'd like us to look into the orders where this happened, our support team would be happy to help. Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback! 

  ### 37. Seamless Integration, But Needs Automated Checks

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 16, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

I like how I can click on the screen and send the applicant a background check without having to go into Checkr directly. The initial setup was also seamless since it was built into my platform.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

I do not like the lack of capabilities to send employees background checks automatically every five years. We have already gotten their permission to run them, so I would prefer if they could be sent automatically rather than requiring employees to log in and reenter their acknowledgment and Social Security number each time.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Checkr to onboard employees more efficiently, thanks to its direct integration with our platform.

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thank you for sharing this! We're glad the direct integration with your platform has made onboarding more efficient, letting you send background checks without leaving your own screen.

  ### 43. Lacking Support, Minimal Positives

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Amber A. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 08, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

I appreciate the ability to see clear insights into the background checks. It was relatively easy to set up with just an API key. Checkr integrates with Lever and Drata, which is important to us.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

The support for Checkr is virtually useless or nonexistent. You can't reach anyone via phone since they don't provide phone support. Almost all support is outsourced, meaning most of the time, chat support results in an 'escalation' because the chat support person isn't equipped to handle issues. Recently, a background check was at a standstill, and I had to reach out multiple times first to be told, everything was working as usual and to be patient. After a third follow up, I was finally told it needed to be re-ordered because of an error based on candidate input which could have been caught weeks prior.   Another issue is with document verification; a candidate uploaded clearly doctored documents which were approved by the reviewers. When I reached out, support had to escalate, and eventually, I was told they do not review documents for fraud. There's also no transparency into how 'cleared by internal review' works. Too much of the support is outsourced or unhelpful.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Checkr helps us vet candidates, stay compliant, and gain insights into their backgrounds.

  ### 44. Streamlined Hiring Processes with Intuitive Interface

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rebecca D.

**Reviewed Date:** February 02, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

I really like that the Checkr experience is intuitive for our candidates to use. The platform supports a lot of customization and rule building, which means our team can spend less time administering prehire requirements like criminal background checks. I also appreciate the data analytics available, as it helps us gain better insight into how our program is running and the decisions being made regarding background checks and TB tests.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

I would like to see some additional workflow options built into Checkr or more granular data sent through the Checkr API to other systems so that we can better leverage external workflows.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Checkr automates pre-hire requirements and gathers data from candidates, saving time. It provides intuitive experiences for candidates and customizable options for rule-building, improving efficiency. Data analytics offer better insights into program performance and decision-making.

  ### 45. User-Friendly Platform with Exceptional Support

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cole C. | Senior Manager, Talent Acquisition, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

I find Checkr's platform to be incredibly user-friendly and modern, particularly in comparison to other drug screen platforms I've seen before. The support we received during integration, onboarding, and going live exceeded our expectations. The integration with Workday Recruiting has worked well so far. The initial setup was very easy, with the Checkr team doing most of the heavy lifting, and the people we partnered with during setup were really fantastic.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

Nothing so far.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Checkr for background checks, drug screens, and MVR checks, which helps ensure safety and compliance for our candidates and employees.

Not to sound cheesy, but so far I honestly haven’t found anything to dislike.

  ### 49. Planning Center Integration Keeps Everything in One Place

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Religious Institutions | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 17, 2026

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

We use Checkr through a Planning Center integration, and it’s been really helpful to keep all of a person’s information in one place. It’s great being able to access everything together without having to jump between different systems.

**What do you dislike about Checkr?**

Because we use the integration in Planning Center, we don’t always know whether someone’s background check has been flagged.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our church has a child safety policy, and using Checkr helps us make sure that volunteers and employees are background checked before they’re involved in any ministries that include children.

**What do you like best about Checkr?**

Easy to do order a check through Planning Center for our church leaders.

I wish you could read a more thorough report straight from Planning Center. Also, would like to know fees for driving records estimate up front.

**What problems is Checkr solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Knowing the background of our leaders who serve with kids.

**Official Response from Damien S.:**

> Thank you for sharing this! We're glad Checkr's integration with Planning Center has made it easy to order checks for your church leaders. We also hear your feedback on wanting a more thorough report view directly in Planning Center, and upfront fee estimates for driving records. We've shared both with our team. Thanks for taking the time to write this!
