What is Checkr?
Checkr gives post-hire screening a home in the Dashboard with its new People page.
The newest work sits after the hire: a People page in the Dashboard gives post-hire screening a central surface, on the premise that licenses lapse, new charges surface and statuses shift after day one. Health screening also gets clearer communication about what is happening and what to do next. Before that, the run was dominated by verification mechanics: fraud detection on employment documents, smarter document collection and Clearinghouse post-hire limited queries.
What is Ever Gauzy?
Ever Gauzy 111.144.0 adds OIDC sign-in and starts new organizations with screen capture off.
Ever Gauzy closed October 31 with 111.144.0, a batch that merged 29 reviewed PRs after six small tags that day. It adds sign-in through any OpenID Connect provider, operator switches that close registration, a deals board by stage, and leave balances that are deducted on approval and restored on denial. New organizations now start with screen capture off, and turning it on for EEA/UK organizations requires an acknowledgement. The subscription tags before it made plan changes signed, single-transaction and recoverable.

Checkr gives post-hire screening a home in the Dashboard with its new People page.
◆ Current state
The newest work sits after the hire: a People page in the Dashboard gives post-hire screening a central surface, on the premise that licenses lapse, new charges surface and statuses shift after day one. Health screening also gets clearer communication about what is happening and what to do next. Before that, the run was dominated by verification mechanics: fraud detection on employment documents, smarter document collection and Clearinghouse post-hire limited queries.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads still run in parallel: automate the parts of a check a human used to chase, and give the candidate a path to unblock their own report. A third is now visible. Clearinghouse limited queries and the People page both treat screening as an ongoing record rather than a one-time event.
◆ Prediction
Expect the People page to gather more post-hire checks, following August's Clearinghouse work. Self-service remediation spreading to other stalled check types remains the other likely direction.

◆ Current state

New organizations now start with screen capture off, and turning it on for EEA/UK organizations requires an acknowledgement. The subscription tags before it made plan changes signed, single-transaction and recoverable.
◆ Where it's heading
Two release rhythms now run side by side: narrow tags for each billing fix, and a large triage batch that clears reviewed PRs and older issues in one go. The batch leans toward operators running their own deployment, with Caddy and DigitalOcean templates, a dev container, opt-in database creation and an egress audit of Ever addresses. Permissions are also getting finer, with contact create and delete split and contact notes gated by contact permissions.
◆ Prediction
Expect follow-up patch tags on the batch's newest paths, especially OIDC sign-in, leave balances and contact notes, since the batch itself carried several review follow-ups. Subscription edge-case tags should continue alongside them.
