We stand in solidarity with the Black community and in support of those seeking justice for the devastating murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and too many more who’ve lost their lives to violence and hate. The recent tragedies have highlighted the need to address systemic racial discrimination and bias in the criminal justice system. Checkr has focused on improving fairness through education and data-driven approaches, aiming to reduce recidivism and increase access to employment for individuals with criminal records. To achieve this goal of opening opportunities for 1 million people, companies must adopt fairer hiring practices, including breaking down stigmas associated with hiring people with criminal records, and take steps such as educating their teams and implementing adjudication tools. The company encourages collaboration and education to drive real change and create a fairer future.
