Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a customer satisfaction metric that businesses use to measure customer loyalty and forecast business growth. Considered the gold standard for evaluating customer experience, NPS is invaluable for helping companies benchmark performance and improve customer satisfaction.

Leading firms such as Apple, Zoom, and Salesforce rely on this simple, but powerful measure, which is based on a single question: "How likely are you to recommend our company to a friend or colleague?" Customers respond on a scale of 0 (not at all likely) to 10 (extremely likely).

The NPS metric categorizes customers as follows:

  • Promoters (9-10): These loyal, happy customers plan to keep buying your product or service and recommending it to others.
  • Passives (7-8): These customers are satisfied, but could easily be persuaded to switch to a competitor.
  • Detractors (6-0): These unhappy or indifferent customers may spread negative word-of-mouth that could harm your company’s reputation.

You can easily calculate your NPS by subtracting the percentage of Detractors from the percentage of Promoters. For instance, if 10% of your respondents are Detractors and 50% are Promoters, your NPS is +40 (50-10). Any score above 0 is considered good, but scores above 50 are considered excellent.

Based on this year’s customer survey with 9,012 responses, our NPS is +60. This matches last year’s score, maintaining our highest-ever NPS and once again reflecting our customer-obsessed vision for Checkr products and experience. We’re also proud that our NPS remains significantly above the B2B technology average of +36, consistently each year.

Typically, companies with high NPS ratings don’t just gather customer feedback—they put it to use. By acting on the insights they gather, these top-performing companies continually make targeted enhancements that elevate the customer experience.

At Checkr, NPS is just one method we use to assess our customers’ satisfaction and guide product improvements. We also keep close tabs on satisfaction via product feedback sessions, customer advisory boards, and third-party review sites like Capterra and G2. These sites collect and publish detailed reviews from verified users, offering valuable insights that inform our product development efforts and customer support investments.

This year, Checkr achieved G2 “Grid Leader” status in the background check category for the sixth year in a row. Companies dubbed Grid Leaders have earned the highest scores for both product satisfaction and market presence.

Checkr provides quicker response times with full reports, easier downloading, and the cost hasn't increased. We've had other background check vendors try to tell us they are cheaper, but we haven't even looked at changing.
