Review Summary
Generated using AI from real user reviews
Checkster earns overwhelming user praise for time savings and ease of use, but faces serious accusations around fraud detection accuracy and accessibility compliance.
Recruiters and hiring managers consistently report that the platform dramatically cuts reference-check turnaround from weeks of phone tag to days. Users highlight the intuitive interface, automated reminders, detailed reporting, and the ability to customize questions for different roles. Customer support is frequently mentioned as responsive and helpful. The system also appeals to references, who can respond on their own schedule rather than via interrupting phone calls, and many users note this flexibility yields more candid feedback.
However, a small but damaging set of reviews describes applicants being wrongly flagged for fraud—sometimes for using the same device across multiple legitimate references—resulting in job losses. One applicant with disabled clients reported the form was inaccessible to screen-reader users and appeared designed to force negative answers. A final reviewer raised concerns that the platform requests medical information from references, which may violate privacy laws.
The gap between high satisfaction among recruiters and serious complaints from job applicants suggests the product works well operationally but may have critical flaws in fraud logic and legal compliance that disproportionately harm candidates.

“What makes me a fan of checkster is the data…”
What makes me a fan of checkster is the data collection process and the new applications for the information obtained there in. The data I'd being applied to retention efforts as well as new hires and allowing businesses the freedom to choose but the wisdom to choose correctly. Checkster allows me to make well informed decisions concerning new hire practices and retention of our own business model.

“RUN RUN RUN...... DO NOT LOOK BACK ........ REFUSE TO…”
RUN RUN RUN...... DO NOT LOOK BACK ........ REFUSE TO USE THIS PRODUCT........A SETUP FOR IDENTITY THEFT..... Look at all the other reviews.....This company is a setup fro invasion of privacy and identity theft. This company has many products each searching as a resource for very personal information. Cold and unprofessional and does it all on line without physical address or contact information, and is transparent to regulators.......and sets itself up looking like an email from me as opposed to a request for reference from a potential employer.....Then in the email asks references for their unpublished phone number. Clearly trying to set up its own data base for marketing or possibly for scamming purposes I have informed my search company that I will not be working with checkster I had to apologize to my references. One reference recalled being called by checkster and asking for personal financial and employment information from this same company in the past THIS IS A BAD NEWS COMPANY

I like how easy it is to obtain references and have those references provide all the information you need regarding potential hires. You can standardize your evaluation of candidates this way by sending the same survey to all references. Enable businesses to obtain references in an easy, organized manner and get the information you actually need.

“The variety of questions this asks is awesome. It sends…”
The variety of questions this asks is awesome. It sends in the data already aggragated which makes it easier to digest. It is a way of getting references without having to call tons or people and gives the applicant peace of mind that you won’t immediately call their current job for a reference unless they add them.
