New G2 Scores Show Checkr Customers Value Platform Features and Ease of Use

Each quarter, leading software review platform G2 spotlights the top-rated solutions for specific industries based on user satisfaction and market presence. For the third year in a row – and 12 consecutive quarters – G2 has named Checkr a “Leader” in the background check category.

This designation is especially meaningful to us because G2 scores are based on ratings and reviews from actual customers. The employers and organizations who use Checkr every day for background checks are our most valuable source of feedback, and it’s rewarding to know we’re serving their needs.

G2’s score data highlights that Checkr’s user satisfaction ratings are higher than our top competitors – HireRight, Sterling, and First Advantage – in 10 key areas.
