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 Miter?
Miter added accounts payable and opened a free API — it's no longer just construction payroll.
Miter ships one large digest every one to two months rather than continuous entries, and each is organized by module: HR, Payroll, Field Ops, Spend, Platform, Ecosystem. The summer update is the broadest yet, adding an Accounts Payable module, API 2.0 as a free self-serve install, Safety Passport credential verification, entity-scoped granular permissions, and a run of payroll and compliance work including California break rules and OSHA report generation.

◆ 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.
Miter
2.5HR
Miter added accounts payable and opened a free API — it's no longer just construction payroll.
◆ Current state
Miter ships one large digest every one to two months rather than continuous entries, and each is organized by module: HR, Payroll, Field Ops, Spend, Platform, Ecosystem. The summer update is the broadest yet, adding an Accounts Payable module, API 2.0 as a free self-serve install, Safety Passport credential verification, entity-scoped granular permissions, and a run of payroll and compliance work including California break rules and OSHA report generation.
◆ Where it's heading
The module list keeps growing outward from payroll into everything a contractor's back office touches, and the last two releases added the two things a platform needs that a payroll product does not: a spend module of its own and an open, unmetered API. Vote counts published against each feature show the roadmap is being run off customer demand, and the compliance work is concentrated where construction is most exposed — break rules, OSHA, prevailing rate calculations.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Spend module to keep filling out around Accounts Payable, and third-party integrations built on API 2.0 to start appearing in the Ecosystem section of the next digest.
