Checkr turns to international screening: instant ID checks in India, fewer stalled reports.

background-checksinternational-screeningidentity-verificationautomationcandidate-experience
◆Current state
Checkr's 4 November batch is about international checks. Candidates in India can validate government ID instantly, with more countries promised this quarter; international packages can require education and employment history; employment documents now appear on international reports; and UK, Australia and Germany reports ask for the right information up front to stall less. Earlier work centred on post-hire screening through the People page.
◆Where it's heading
After a run of US-focused verification and post-hire work, Checkr is applying the same automation to cross-border hiring. The stated plan is to add instant digital ID validation in more countries.
◆Prediction
Instant ID validation in further countries is the stated next step this quarter.

    Clearer communication across the health screening journey
