Background checks keep your business safe, but not all records have the same risk. Assess helps you label and filter records to speed up your adjudication process.
Assess has three tiers:
- Assess Lite: Free service enabled by default in December 2023
- Assess Standard: Paid add-on service
- Assess Premium: Paid add-on service
Assess Lite
Assess Lite, Checkr’s free product, helps you easily indicate which records don’t matter and minimize them to speed up your adjudication process. You can then evaluate candidate reports faster and save time. When you review reports, we also provide easy-to-read descriptions for what records mean to help you feel more confident in your background check decisions.
In the Checkr Academy video below, you will learn how Checkr's free record-filtering product, Assess Lite, helps you screen candidates faster and increase consistency across your background check program.

Assess Standard
With Assess Standard, you gain access to tools that make it easier to grow a knowledgeable background check evaluation team as your company scales. You can codify your evaluation policies in Checkr by specifying how much time should pass before a record is no longer relevant across 55 crime types.
With even more industry best practices, you can further reduce bias by knowing which records pose less risk, spend less time on the evaluation process, and put more focus on your candidates.

Assess Premium
With Assess Premium, you can minimize records that don’t matter and label the ones that do. Assess Premium helps you get closer to automating your evaluations. You can further codify your evaluation policies by specifying how much time should pass before a record is no longer relevant across 235 crime types.
To identify records that matter and gauge a candidate's overall risk, you can create custom guidelines for the total number of convictions. You can also build guidelines for different locations and job positions. During the creation process, you can even show the potential effect of your guidelines.
With our Premium tier, you also get dedicated support from Checkr's Implementations team to guide you through the details.
