Checkr has entered a new multi-year, preferred partnership with Intuit that seeks to make background checks faster and more accessible to the millions of small to mid-sized businesses in the U.S. The partnership will see Checkr’s background check technology integrated directly into Intuit QuickBooks Online Payroll and Intuit Enterprise Suite.
With hiring becoming increasingly complex due to talent shortages and increasing compliance needs, small to mid-sized businesses are still using separate tools that make hiring slower and more risky. The integration of background checks into core payroll and HR processes is a move that seeks to address a long-standing pain point: allowing small businesses to hire as quickly and confidently as large corporations.
The partnership is a move that seeks to further Checkr’s mission of modernizing trusted hiring at scale and aligns with Intuit’s vision of providing an all-in-one platform that allows businesses to manage operations, finances, and employee growth in one place. With millions of businesses already using the Intuit platform, the integration is a significant move towards a more streamlined hiring and onboarding technology stack.
“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. “Our partnership with Intuit changes that. 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.”

Intuit echoed that focus on simplicity and scale. “Growing businesses want tools that work together seamlessly, without adding complexity to already stretched teams,” said Olivier Bartholot, Vice President, Segment Leader, Intuit Workforce Solutions. “By embedding Checkr’s background check technology directly into QuickBooks Online Payroll and Intuit Enterprise Suite, we’re streamlining the hiring process and increasing trust among employers who are expanding their workforce.”
With the integration, employers will be able to start and monitor background checks right from the employee’s profile, giving them real-time access to the status of the screening. This is important because screening, payroll, and HR-related tasks can now be done in one place, allowing teams to focus on growth rather than spending time on coordination.
Checkr and Intuit are working together to ensure that trusted hiring becomes a standard feature, rather than an afterthought, for companies operating in today’s competitive market.
