Executive Summary

Checkr offers employers employment and education verification to confirm what candidates report about their work history and schooling, for US and international candidates. An employment verification confirms where the candidate worked, their job title and employment dates, and an education verification confirms details such as school name, degree earned and graduation date. For US employment history Checkr works through up to four methods in order: its verified employment records, the candidate's payroll login, employer outreach or paid databases, and document review. Employment verification is available as a standalone screening or as part of a background check package.

Use Cases

  • Confirming a candidate's employers, job titles and employment dates
  • Confirming degrees, diplomas and certifications
  • Checking education and work history from outside the US
  • Spotting errors and inflated job titles
  • Employment verification for FMCSA-regulated roles
