A criminal background check only needs minutes to ruin a life. That's how long it takes for prospective employers, in some instances, to get a background check report on a job candidate. But mistakes that incorrectly identify an applicant as a thief or sex offender happen more often than many expect. The effect can be emotionally and financially devastating, and HR managers make it worse by often dropping their job candidate before a correction is issued.
Since its founding in 2014, about 70 federal lawsuits have been filed against San Francisco-based Checkr, which provides background checks to some of the largest gig-economy companies in Silicon Valley, including Uber, Lyft and Postmates.
We reviewed several former and pending lawsuits against Checkr that were filed this year in federal courts across the country. The suits claim Checkr gave five gig-economy companies background checks that contained inaccurate information, included records that should have been omitted or had other issues. The employers then fired workers and rejected applicants based on the botched background checks, according to the lawsuits.
