Checkr, Inc.'s Growth & Acquisition Strategy
After winning gig platforms, Checkr moved upmarket into enterprise hiring (customers named in 2025 include Avis Budget Group, Philips, Extra Space Storage and Invitation Homes) and downmarket into SMBs through the roughly $400 million GoodHire purchase in 2022. Since 2025 the strategy has shifted to cross-selling a family of verification products built on shared AI and data, with Truework, Checkr Trust and Checkr Personal extending the business beyond employment screening.
How Checkr, Inc. Makes Money
Checkr is a B2B usage-based platform. Employers, gig platforms and lenders order verifications through its dashboard, more than 100 HR and applicant-tracking integrations, or a REST API, and pay per report or package. Gross revenue includes court access and other government fees Checkr passes through; net revenue strips those out, which is why Checkr reports both figures ($800M+ gross and $500M+ net in 2025). Add-on products, including continuous criminal and driving-record monitoring, drug testing, employment and education verification, Truework income verification and Checkr Trust API lookups, raise revenue per customer.
