Automated compliance

Reduction of potential bias

“Checkr Assess is very fluid and provides us with the ability to rely on the automation that’s built into Checkr to do the heavy lifting for us. The ability to have comfort and assurance that the information we receive is accurate and truthful, along with the knowledge that we are in compliance when navigating the adverse action process, has had a positive impact on our hiring process.”

Erin Doehring

Human Resources Director, TAL Building Centers

“Assess is so helpful in eliminating bias in our hiring. With our rule sets in Assess, it helps us look at the candidate for who they really are.”

Angie College Hooper

COO, Gojob

Automated compliance

Our compliance engine is built to account for federal, state, and local laws. These rules are baked into the reporting process so all records that appear in a report are aligned with regulatory reporting requirements.

Language normalization

Background data is fragmented. Each jurisdiction and county has its own rules and regulations, plus its own language and set of terms used for charges and dispositions. Checkr’s proprietary charge classifier uses machine learning to quickly and accurately categorize and compare criminal charges, so that you encounter consistent charge descriptions on reports you adjudicate.

Modern UI

Gone are the cumbersome adjudication matrixes of the past. Checkr Assess is designed to be intuitive and easy to use.
