- Process Automation & Integration:
- Design, develop, and implement automated solutions within and across HR/people systems, leveraging integration tools and API capabilities

- Collaborate with data science and IT teams on the technical integration and deployment of AI models, ensuring scalability, data privacy, and ethical considerations
- Identify technical use cases for generative AI and other AI technologies to enhance system functionality and improve HR service delivery
- Cross-Functional System Collaboration:
- Partner closely with HR, IT, finance, and other stakeholders to understand their system requirements and translate them into technical specifications
- Manage vendor relationships and collaborate with external partners on system implementations, upgrades, and ongoing technical support
- Lead and participate in project teams focused on HR technology initiatives, ensuring successful technical delivery and system adoption
Our take
Checkr addresses the unpleasant and time consuming process of background checks so that companies using on-demand employees can make safer, more informed hiring decisions in less time. Background checks are a critical part of the hiring process, and CEO Daniel Yannisse noticed that they were painfully slow, resulting in loss of work for candidates and productivity downturns for employers.
Before Checkr entered the market in 2014 with its innovative AI technology and a solid $50m in venture capital funding, companies were waiting upwards of two weeks for their checks. Checkr substantially reduces this time frame and has grown to receive a $5 billion valuation.
Checkr has accelerated growth by making several highly advantageous acquisitions of competitor companies GoodHire and Inflection. As the world of work embraces diversity and inclusion, the company announced an end-to-end service for candidates wishing to expunge their criminal records, furthering the company’s ‘fair chance’ mission and clearing 1000s of candidates for free since 2021. New products launched at the end of 2023 include Checkr Pay (providing access to payment right after a shift) and Checkr Onboard (unified onboarding processes), exemplifying how Checkr is keeping pace with a rapidly changing, flexible, and mobile-first workforce.
