Checkr’s High NPS Reflects Our Dedication to Customer Satisfaction
Checkr ranks above average in customer satisfaction. Learn the top 6 reasons customers love our platform.
A Net Promoter Score (NPS) can be a valuable tool for gathering customer feedback to benchmark and improve your company’s performance. Known as the gold standard of customer experience metrics, NPS is used by companies like Apple, JetBlue, and GE.
An NPS score is based on one simple survey question: “How likely are you to recommend our company to a friend or colleague?” Customers respond on a scale of 0 (not at all likely) to 10 (extremely likely). Based on these numerical responses, they are categorized as follows:
- 9-10: Promoters, loyal customers who avidly recommend your business to others
- 7-8: Passives, who are happy with your service but might easily be convinced to switch to a competitor
- 6-0: Detractors, indifferent or dissatisfied customers who could hurt your reputation with negative word-of-mouth
To find your NPS, subtract the percentage of respondents who are Detractors from the percentage who are Promoters. For instance, if 20% of your respondents are Detractors and 50% are Promoters, your NPS is 30 (50-20).
In theory, your NPS could reach 100 if all your respondents are Promoters. In reality, NPS scores are usually much lower. The average retail industry NPS was 28.4 in 2022, for example.

The NPS is just one method Checkr uses to evaluate our customers’ satisfaction. Checkr’s NPS is 48, based on an annual customer survey with 3,906 responses. The B2B technology industry average is 41, putting us well above average.
