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 ----- ### "Automate Background Checks - One simplified solution\!" — 4.0/5 > **Robin** | *March 3, 2026* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: One simplified solution for managing all of our pre-employment and post-accident screening needs. It works seamlessly with our existing Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to automate data entry. > > **Cons**: Not a fully integrated solution. Must login into the 3rd party site to retrieve results and download report to upload into HRIS. > > Overall, very pleased with the product. It is user friendly and can be tailored to meet your specific needs. ----- ### "Current customer displeased with customer service practice." — 1.0/5 > **Nathaniel** | *June 25, 2025* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Background checks are quick and they offer a variety of services. Too bad they can't back that up with speaking with the customer directly > > **Cons**: A human only calls to sell a service but don't offer the courtesy to call a customer directly when assistance is needed. It's a waste of time with AI Chat box. Too bad this good company is going with losing the people contact. > > Satisfactory but when assistance is needed the only option is the chat which is very slow. Not satisfied with their Customer Service practice. ----- ### "Checkr - Streamlined Background Checks" — 5.0/5 > **Alexandra** | *April 6, 2026* | Warehousing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Checkr has drastically streamlined our background check process and created efficiency across our hiring. The process went from over a week with our prior provider, to sometimes hours with Checkr. Candidates have shared a positive experience with the platform, and results come back quickly. The system integrates with our HRIS, allowing us easy access to requesting the background check directly from Recruiting. The cost is comparable to other platforms, and the customer service is quick. > > **Cons**: Checkr has so many positive qualities - the only thing that I wish was different would be to have a dedicated account manager with a phone number or email to contact. Their customer service is through scheduled office hours or through chat. Both are useful, but sometimes it would be easier to send a quick email or call a dedicated resource. ----- ### "A+ for Checkr" — 4.0/5 > **Heather** | *March 6, 2026* | Warehousing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use - the platform makes it easy to see the full list of candidates right on the home screen. Just a click to see the report. > > **Cons**: I only utilize Checkr for background checks, so it's hard for me to speak to cons since I'm not utilizing every resource the platform offers. > > Overall, very good. Customer service has also been great to work with and always responds in a reasonable time. ----- 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
