Checkr Assess has been selected by Fast Company for its World Changing Ideas Award in the AI and Data Category, recognizing its innovative approach to background checks that aims to reduce human bias and give applicants a fair chance. The product streamlines the background check process using thoughtful automation and flexible adjudication rules, allowing employers to identify irrelevant records and annotate them accordingly. By using machine learning to predict changes in the employment funnel, Assess reduces the time employers spend reviewing irrelevant records and minimizes the impact of personal biases on hiring decisions. This technology has already helped unlock 1.5 million people who would have otherwise been excluded from the hiring process, aligning with Checkr's mission to build a fairer future. The award is a testament to Checkr's commitment to creating a more inclusive and efficient hiring process.
