Known gotchas
Checkr's core product is employment screening; verify that the report types you need have full parity in its tenant-screening product line before building.
Report turnaround and available checks vary by jurisdiction — confirm compliance requirements for the property's location before automating decisions.
Candidate consent must be captured and stored per applicable screening law before a report is run.
