Speed up employment verifications with Instant Database

Now live for U.S. employment verifications

Instant Database is a new, automatically enabled data source that allows Checkr to verify U.S. employment instantly using trusted payroll and employment records—reducing turnaround time, manual work, and passthrough costs.

This backend update prioritizes automation-first verification, giving Checkr instant access to 52M+ records from major payroll providers and trusted databases. As a result, many employment verifications now complete instantly, cost $63 per verification (vs. $120+ from legacy providers), and require less effort from both HR teams and candidates—no payroll login required.
