Hire Confidently with Gravitas

Background checks are governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act as well as a growing number of state and local fair chance laws. The screening company supplies the report, but the employer is responsible for how it's requested, reviewed, and used. Gravitas helps you build a process that holds up.

We help you decide which checks each position actually requires, so screening is consistent, job-related, and no broader or more costly than necessary.

We make sure candidates receive the required standalone disclosure and give written authorization before any report is ordered.

We review when in the hiring process you can ask about criminal history and what individualized assessment your state or city requires before a conviction can factor into a decision.

We walk you through pre-adverse action notice, the waiting period, and final adverse action so that no step is skipped when a report affects a hiring decision.

We draft drug and alcohol testing policies that account for your state's rules, including protections related to lawful cannabis use where they apply.

Checkr works best for businesses that want a fast, straightforward way to run background checks, whether they hire a few people a year or dozens each month. It is especially well suited to hourly, driving, and customer-facing roles where quick turnaround helps keep candidates engaged. Businesses in heavily regulated industries with specialized screening requirements may want to compare providers that focus on those sectors.
