April 2025 Summaries

Checkr has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Truework, a leader in income and employment verification, with the expected closing date set for the second quarter of 2025. The acquisition aims to expand Checkr's data platform into the multi-billion dollar employment verification market. By combining their expertise in AI and automation, Checkr and Truework aim to simplify complexity, focus on the consumer experience, and prioritize customer obsession and delight. This move is part of Checkr's growth strategy in the fast-growing enterprise segment and will enable them to better meet customers' needs in employment verification. The acquisition is seen as a key step in creating a data platform that powers safe and fair decisions.

Meet Sarah, an HR lead at a large logistics company responsible for hiring commercial drivers. She faces the challenge of ensuring safety, compliance, and operational efficiency in her hiring process. To address this, she uses Checkr's commercial MVR check, which provides a comprehensive view of a driver's history across multiple states, supporting regulatory compliance and mitigating risk before making an offer. This is enhanced by incorporating CDLIS (Commercial Driver’s License Information System), a federal system that tracks commercial drivers' licenses across all 50 states, ensuring compliance with FMCSA regulations and preventing fraudulent applications. By using Checkr's commercial MVR with CDLIS, Sarah can make more informed hiring decisions, reduce compliance risks, and build a workforce that meets the highest safety standards.
