About Checkr

Checkr is a background screening company that runs checks for employers—criminal records, employment history, driving records, drug tests, all that stuff. They’ve built an AI-powered platform that processes most criminal checks in about an hour, which is pretty quick compared to the old-school methods. They mainly serve gig economy platforms like Uber and Lyft, plus hospitality and healthcare companies. Their connection to the intimacy space comes through Checkr Trust, a product designed for online platforms that need safety screenings. Dating apps use it to verify users and flag potential safety issues. With platforms like OnlyFans introducing compulsory criminal record checks for US creators, Checkr’s trust and safety tools have become relevant to adult content platforms and dating services trying to keep their users safer. Founded in 2014 by two engineers who got fed up with how slow traditional background checks were, they’ve since grown to work with over 100,000 companies.
