The US unemployment rate recently fell to its lowest level in half a century, but for people with criminal records, obstacles to securing work remain high. Checkr aims to educate employers on recognizing background checks as part of a person's story and reduce stigma by launching the Fair Assessment Course and Certification, an online course providing best practices for reviewing background checks and scenarios encountered in hiring decision making. The course helps companies stay compliant with regulations, reduce friction in their hiring process, consider candidates' records in context, decipher confusing court dispositions, and open up new pools of qualified talent. By doing so, Checkr envisions a world where everyone has an equal opportunity to work, benefiting both companies and society.
