Global background checks, local expertise
Checkr makes it easy for you to run fast and accurate background checks in 200+ countries and territories around the world—helping you navigate the complexity around disparate laws, languages, and cultural norms.
Expand to new markets with a single integration
Avoid hours of manual overhead working with multiple systems. With Checkr, you can manage all of your background checks in one place, giving you a unified view of your candidate funnel—whether you’re hiring in Canada, the UK, or all over the world.
Let Checkr handle local compliance requirements
Hiring practices and compliance rules can be challenging to navigate outside the US. Laws and regulations related to background checks vary by country and are always evolving, while language and cultural nuances add further complexity to the process.
Checkr can help you manage these details. Our international background check application:
- Helps you meet local compliance requirements
- Dynamically updates whenever local privacy or data protection laws change
Maximize candidate conversion
Checkr’s candidate background check application and portal are optimized to minimize friction and help you accelerate the hiring process.
What sets Checkr’s candidate experience apart:
- Simple, mobile-friendly forms with built-in error detection
- Localized, relevant forms
- Dedicated support in multiple languages and timezones
- Continuous investment in testing and learning from the millions of background check reports we run each year
Technology for greater speed, accuracy, and compliance
It’s common for legacy background check providers to manually pull and sort through data, and these outdated practices can be prone to human error and bias. With Checkr, you get:
- Integrated digital identity verification in countries that require it as part of the background check process
- A scalable service that can handle large volumes of background checks without sacrificing speed or accuracy
- Compliance with local laws, including filtering out any information that isn’t legally reportable
