May 2020 Summaries

Our mission at Checkr is to build a fairer future by improving our understanding of the past. We believe that all candidates, regardless of their background, should have a fair chance to work and are working to transform traditional background checks into better tools for serving our community. To achieve this, we create educational content to explain fair chance hiring practices, offer tools for companies to implement fairness and eliminate bias in decision making, give candidates control over their own data, seek opportunities to connect candidates to employment, and evaluate the impact of our products on society. We are committed to pushing the boundaries of how background check companies inform the hiring process to become more fair, inclusive, and informed by research and best practices.
