Absolutely horrible customer service. 3 different companies submitted checks to them -2 have come back saying they can not verify my social. Not a single customer service person have been able to figure out why the check can not be completed (even though, at least one check was complete. ) let me know if you guys decide to get your sh** together, I’ll change my review!
They are the worst! No help at all so if you need help is just the guy that answer the phone and if you do not like their answer that is all. There is no one to address really important issues
This is by far the worst company to use to perform background checks. They’re blaming the “Pandemic” for not having our background checks completed. My status is still pending and it’s frustrating. I’ve been driving for almost 6 years and my background hasn’t change. I’m sick of Checkr. There’s a lack of support, and we can’t even talk to a real person. These gig platforms should be ashamed of themselves for using Checkr.
Homelessness has become a serious problem in California due to a number of factors. It is often referred to as a drug problem. Many people believe that it is a choice. But, has anyone ever considered that maybe, just maybe, some of the people living on the streets have been unable to gain employment because of a company called checkr that runs background checks? Checkr provides background checks for gig companies such as Uber, Lyft and DoorDash. Hundreds of people apply to these companies only to be rejected based on inaccurate background checks. Per Checkr's website: 1. Under the FCRA, non-convictions are reportable for seven years from the file date and can appear on a background... Read More
This is a company that has got a very lucrative contract from a big company ( not exactly by bidding and who knows how they got it) and they simply are not organized, equipped, or ready to get the job done. Their specialty is using the Coronavirus excuse to delay the job. Some background checks take months while checking public records is done efficiently and fast by competition. Do not use this company if you want results. What they deliver is a fresh, juicy excuse right out of the oven. Here are some companies that are smaller but a lot more efficient 1- Goodhire.com 2- Intellicorp 3- Accio data The only thing you get when you go with Checkr is an excuse to delay the job and a...

The worse company checking backgrounds ever!!!! Nobody even close. No wonder they shroud be shut down. There is no words to describe how bad they are. This awful company is negatively impacting my income opportunities.
I cannot believe they are rated top 10 background checks. I would sue them but considering their customer service, my guess is they have no money.... any how, I too will be one of those suing for faulty background checks...
This lame excuse of a Background Check company should be shut down. ZERO customer service support ZERO phone lines to reach. It appears they would only reach out to you when they feel they have a moment to spare via emails. Why these Gigantic companies refer to this agency for their background checks I do not know. I'm getting held up for employment opportunities because of this pile of trash company called Checkr.
Endless wait time for a simple background check with 0 customer service. The only message you can expect to receive is "we are working hard to complete your report." They do not tell you which step they are stuck with but just "Pending," "Pending" and "Pending..."
