I like it overall as a tool. > > **Cons**: I cannot say anything about Checkr that I dislike. I think it's a strong product overall, however there is always one criticism we can make cost. > > I think Checkr is a great tool especially for small startups. I like the ease of using it, and it's global presence ----- ### "Integration Makes Life Easier - Good Overall" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *November 3, 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Checkr integrates easily into Paylocity which is very nice not having to switch between platforms. It is also very easy to order a background check and to customize a background check. > > **Cons**: It is not easy to understand in terms of how far the background check goes and to what depth it goes. I was having a hard time finding out if it was a 7 year look back period or farther. It looks like they have added a 10 year look back period, but it would be nice to see more detail on the report. > > It has gone well overall and they seem to be updating things to make it more user friendly in terms of customizing packets. Again, we love the integration piece - makes life easier. ----- ### "Recent price hike and lack of reliability make checkr an ok option for company background checks" — 3.0/5 > **Taylor** | *May 1, 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Checkr offers thorough background checks--reporting state and federal records. It even reports things down to a traffic or parking violation. > > **Cons**: Checkr has unreliable timeframes--sometimes you receive a background check quickly, other times it takes weeks with little help from customer support. With an increase in price last year, it is now as expensive as its competitors. ----- ### "Use these guys\!" — 5.0/5 > **Matthew** | *July 12, 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s is quick and easy and it integrates into planning center online. That is the best part. Basically automated. > > **Cons**: Sometimes I wish there was more info or maybe more automation in the workflow. There could be better ui > > Our Overall experience has been great. I wouldn’t want to ever change vendors. They are great and get it done. ----- ### "Checkr Review" — 5.0/5 > **McKinley** | *November 12, 2025* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The platform is organized nicely, making it easy to retrieve candidate information and background check updates. It also connects to our HRIS so manual administrative tasks are minimal, if not obsolete, using this service. > > **Cons**: I don't have anything negative to say about Checkr. Sometimes the reviews can take longer than desired, but that's because of external factors, not Checkr. ----- Page: 1 / 13\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/177814/checkr?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/177814/checkr) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
