What do you like best about Checkr?

They're team will follow up quickly with potential upcharges for services you don't want Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Checkr?

They made promises on services that they adveristed but didn't either include in the actual background checks. They also will try to lock you in for long term agreements when the per check service is cheaper and flexible. They also won't honor contract changes made in accordance with the MSA. I would highly suggest to stay away from this service and customer support and lack of ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It was suppose to be the best in class service, but was not reliable where I was able to find public information on individual's criminal records that was not found although we paid for that service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
