## Reviews

### "Checkr is so easy to use" — 5.0/5

> **Jessica M.** | *14 November 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The convenience of the integration with our HRIS. The website is super easy as well. We get a bundkes package that is budget friendly and customizable.
> 
> **Cons**: I dont have any complaints. Checkr is great. We customized our package, and saved money. Its cost-effective and user friendly.
> 
> Overall the experience has been good. The integration with Paylocity was simple. Requesting background checks outside of Paylocity's Recruitment module is very easy.

-----

### "Recent price hike and lack of reliability make checkr an ok option for company background checks" — 3.0/5

> **Taylor** | *1 May 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Checkr offers thorough background checks--reporting state and federal records. It even reports things down to a traffic or parking violation.
> 
> **Cons**: Checkr has unreliable timeframes--sometimes you receive a background check quickly, other times it takes weeks with little help from customer support. With an increase in price last year, it is now as expensive as its competitors.

-----

### "Background Checks" — 5.0/5

> **Brenda** | *26 March 2026* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I work for a private preschool, and Checkr helps us with preliminary background check for higher level positions.
> 
> **Cons**: n/a
> 
> Overall, the experience has been great. We were able to customize packages which makes it easier for us to do our jobs.

### "Integration Makes Life Easier - Good Overall" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *3 November 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Checkr integrates easily into Paylocity which is very nice not having to switch between platforms. It is also very easy to order a background check and to customize a background check.
> 
> **Cons**: It is not easy to understand in terms of how far the background check goes and to what depth it goes. I was having a hard time finding out if it was a 7 year look back period or farther. It looks like they have added a 10 year look back period, but it would be nice to see more detail on the report.
> 
> It has gone well overall and they seem to be updating things to make it more user friendly in terms of customizing packets. Again, we love the integration piece - makes life easier.

### "Use these guys\!" — 5.0/5

> **Matthew** | *12 July 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It’s is quick and easy and it integrates into planning center online. That is the best part. Basically automated.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes I wish there was more info or maybe more automation in the workflow. There could be better ui
> 
> Our Overall experience has been great. I wouldn’t want to ever change vendors. They are great and get it done.
