Checkr reviews

Leadership team is unqualified to run the business. Being an engineer founder doesn't make you well-suited for the role of CEO. C-staff is unprofessional, belittling senior staff and others, and engaging in behavior and activities that are on the edge of legality. I would not be surprised to see a class action come out over unethical hiring practices and terminations. This company is unlikely to go IPO as the CEO and CFO keep profiting by selling their shares on the secondary market, but not allowing others to - so for them, no need to IPO. On the candidate side, Checkr is buying all the data companies so that even their competitors have to use their information resulting in some candidates never passing background checks if the information is wrong - no matter which company runs them - Checkr owns most of it.

In my time here the start up "growing pains" have only gotten worse: Still have a lot of institutional knowledge sitting under a handful of people Most teams seem to be understaffed or have expectations beyond what they can reasonably do Priorities change frequently High turnover Unclear on how to actually progress to the next step in your career or salary Decisions are made at the top without feedback or communication about those decisions Flashy company offsite events despite being told to save money Without any discussion the CEO decided to switch back to a return to office. No data provided, not open to feedback. This is all after promising no mandated days in office. If you value remote work, Checkr does not anymore.
