Why choose Checkr
Speed
"Prior to Checkr, we were using HireRight. Background checks with HireRight took 72 hours at a minimum. Due to that wait time, we were losing candidates left and right. By the time their background check came back to us, they had found another role."

Customer support
"We get much better customer service with Checkr than we did with HireRight. We could never get issues resolved quickly and never received hands-on customer service. Checkr always accommodates our needs, whether it's speed, consistency in responses, or great customer service."

Efficiency
"We had billing issues with our previous vendor (HireRight), and customer service wasn't great. It took a long time for them to get back to us. We're saving a lot of money moving to Checkr, and the customer service has been so much better."
