[Music] Here's how Checker delivers breakthroughs in screening speed and accuracy. Background check data lives in thousands of places. That data is messy and hard to access.
Checker owns unique direct data access points, creating unmatched control over data freshness. We automate retrieval from thousands of jurisdictions, gathering the data in seconds. Checker AI discovers data in places our competitors can't get at.
That's why our searches are the most comprehensive. In their original form, criminal charges are in hard to decipher legal language. Checker AI instantly classifies every charge and its disposition.
It knows which charges are your candidates, even with different variations of your candidates's name. It knows which charges aren't reportable, helping you stay compliant. Our competitors are trying to solve all of this with people doing manual work.
Once the data is standardized, Checker Assess works its magic. Assess automatically applies your custom rule sets, so you only need to consider charges you view as relevant. Assess makes your adjudication more consistent, and it dramatically reduces the number of reports your team has to manually review.
For the reports that are flagged for review, our easy workflows help your team review and decide. You can customize the way you communicate decisions to candidates with templates and safeguards to ensure compliance in every jurisdiction. Checker helps you make fast, fair decisions and effortlessly implement them.
