Checkr, the data platform powering safe and fair decisions, has announced a multi-year preferred partnership with Intuit to embed background check technology directly into core payroll and workforce tools, creating a more seamless and integrated hiring experience for businesses.

Through this partnership, Checkr’s background check capabilities are integrated into QuickBooks Online Payroll and Intuit Enterprise Suite, helping businesses save time and reduce friction during hiring and onboarding. The collaboration expands Checkr’s mission to modernize trusted hiring at scale while supporting Intuit’s vision of delivering an all-in-one platform that enables business growth.

Small and mid-sized businesses are facing increasing hiring challenges, including labor shortages, evolving compliance requirements, and fragmented technology systems that introduce delays and operational risk. By embedding background checks into payroll and HR workflows, the partnership helps businesses move faster, remain compliant, and compete more effectively in a complex labor market.

“Small and mid-sized businesses today are expected to hire with the same speed and sophistication of large enterprises, yet many still rely on fragmented systems and limited resources,” said Kristen Faris, Senior Vice President of Sales Solutions at Checkr.

“By embedding Checkr’s background check technology directly into QuickBooks Online Payroll and Intuit Enterprise Suite, we’re making it easier for millions of businesses to hire safely, confidently, and efficiently.”

“Growing businesses want tools that work together seamlessly, without adding complexity to already stretched teams,” said Olivier Bartholot, Vice President and Segment Leader at Intuit Workforce Solutions.

“This integration streamlines the hiring process and increases trust for employers as they expand their workforce.”
