"Their customer service is by far some of the best I have ever worked with." — Dan R., Beecan Health
The problem

The typical screening process is broken.

Deciphering raw codes, waiting days for manual checks, and dealing with hidden markups.

Reports nobody can read.

Deciphering raw court codes and database dumps shouldn't be your job. CHCKED standardizes every report into plain, honest English.

Pricing that hides the real bill.

Network access fees, courthouse surcharges, no-hit fees. The big CRAs make their margin on the fine print. We pass county fees through at cost.

Days of waiting, then a chargeback.

Your candidates are sitting with competitor offers while your screening vendor plays phone tag with former employers. We verify in minutes, not days.

"Most background check companies don't publish their prices. When you factor in pass-through fees at providers that do show pricing, your final bill often runs significantly higher than the listed rate. What you see on our pricing page is what you pay."
