What the job involves
- We are a specialized analytics unit embedded within the Supply Chain organization
- Our team is responsible for the health, quality, and rigorous assessment of the external vendors that power our platform. Checkr is a data platform, and this team is the gatekeeper of that data
- Design, build, and maintain comprehensive dashboards to monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for current data vendors
- Develop automated alerting systems to flag SLA breaches, allowing the Vendor Management team to address performance issues in real-time
- Lead the quantitative assessment of potential new vendors by conducting "bake-offs" (side-by-side testing); compare coverage, accuracy, and freshness of new datasets against incumbent providers
- Define and standardize the definition of "Data Quality" for criminal records, creating a scoring model that weighs factors like PII completeness (DOB, SSN availability) and disposition accuracy
- Partner with Vendor Managers to provide data-backed leverage during contract negotiations and renewals
- Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to translate changes in vendor data structures (e.g., a court changing how they classify misdemeanors vs. felonies) into technical requirements for their ingestion pipeline
- Bridge the gap between business needs (e.g., "We need faster checks in Cook County") and technical reality by analyzing if alternative vendors or access methods (scraper vs. API vs. runner) offer a viable solution
- Document data lineage and vendor-specific logic to ensure transparency and maintain a clear audit trail for compliance inquiries
- Analyze trends in downstream metrics to identify specific vendors or jurisdictions that are statistically prone to inaccuracies
- Generate educational resources for internal stakeholders
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.
