Frequently asked questions
What types of screenings does Checkr offer for marketplace platforms?
Checkr offers a range of screenings built for marketplace and gig economy use cases. These include criminal background checks, driving record checks, identity verification, and instant criminal checks for user-side trust and safety. For housing platforms, Checkr also covers criminal, income, employment, asset, and credit screening. The right combination depends on your platform type and the roles you’re filling.
Can Checkr screen both workers and users on my platform?
Yes. Most platforms only screen the workers they onboard, but Checkr lets you verify anyone in your ecosystem, including buyers, sellers, renters, and guests. Performing identity verification at signup can stop fraudulent accounts before they reach your community. Instant criminal checks can screen users in under a second without adding friction to your onboarding flow.
How fast are Checkr’s background checks for gig and marketplace platforms?
Speed is a core part of what Checkr is built for. 89% of national criminal record checks complete within one hour. Checkr’s AI-powered tools normalize criminal charge data automatically. Automated adjudication reduces manual workflows by up to 80%, so your team spends less time reviewing results and more time onboarding workers.
How does Checkr help reduce worker drop-off during onboarding?
When workers have to wait days for a background check to clear, they often move on to another platform. Checkr’s quick screenings, automated candidate communications, and in-platform support keep candidates moving through your funnel. Fewer delays mean fewer workers abandoning the process before they ever get started.
What is a Checkr Profile, and how does it benefit workers on my platform?
A Checkr Profile is a portable, verified credential that workers carry with them across every platform on which they work. It includes an individual’s verified identity, safety, education, and employment experience. Workers with Checkr Profile badges can stand out on your platform and get hired faster. Your platform also benefits from fewer repeat verifications as workers move between gigs.
How does Checkr integrate with my existing platform or app?
Checkr offers 200+ software integrations and a custom API, so you can embed background screening directly into your existing hiring flow or apps. Candidates don’t have to leave your platform to complete their verification, and manual data entry is reduced. For trust and safety teams, a flexible API connects directly into onboarding and in-app workflows.
Does Checkr help with compliance across different states and roles?
Yes. Checkr includes built-in regional compliance tools to help you manage risk across hiring locations. Requirements vary by roles, as well your location and industry. Checkr’s platform is designed to help you stay on track without needing a dedicated compliance team to sort everything out.
How does identity verification work for marketplace platforms?
Checkr’s identity verification tools confirm that the person signing up is who they claim to be, using Checkr-owned data sources that cover 96% of US adults across 260 million real identities. That’s how fraudulent signups get stopped without slowing down legitimate users.
Which marketplace platforms already use Checkr?
Checkr powers background checks for many marketplace platforms, including Lyft, Grubhub, Shipt, TaskRabbit, Thumbtack, GigSmart, and Field Nation. Checkr runs more marketplace verifications than any other provider, with 90% of gig economy background checks running on its platform.
