创新：背调公司Checkr创建动态背调监控工具以提升Uber乘坐的安全性编者注：值得学习和参考，动态的背景调查很重要啊！国内哪家可以跟滴滴等合作起来！
目前背调都是截止调查的当天。而入职或者开始工作后的情况就很难掌握了！
现代和合规背景调查的领先提供商Checkr今天宣布了一项新技术，该技术可持续更新可能影响共乘驾驶员驾驶资格的犯罪记录。Checker Continuous Check由Uber设计，动态识别可能不合格的记录，以帮助确保驾驶员继续满足优步的安全标准。
Checkr首席执行官Daniel Yanisse表示： “ 凭借当今的按需劳动力，我们需要超越静态背景报告，进行动态筛选。通过持续检查，Checkr为共乘产业创造了新的安全标准将提供关于某人背景变化的重要见解，这可能会影响他们的工作资格。“
优步是第一家采用该技术的公司。使用涵盖大多数新刑事犯罪的数据来源，当司机参与犯罪活动时，持续检查会向优步提供通知。然后，优步可以调查任何可能不合格的信息，例如DUI的新费用和未决费用，以确定该驱动程序是否仍有资格与Uber一起驾驶。这项新技术使优步能够在每年重新进行背景调查之间持续执行其安全标准。
“ 安全对优步至关重要，我们希望确保驾驶员持续不断地达到我们的标准，”优步安全与保险副总裁Gus Fuldner说。“ 这种新的连续检查技术将加强我们的筛选过程并提高安全性。”
最初设计用于满足共乘行业的严格要求，2018年秋季将为所有Checkr客户提供持续检查。

Checkr Creates Dynamic Monitoring Tool to Elevate Safety in Ridesharing
Checkr, the leading provider of modern and compliant background checks, today announced new technology that provides continuous updates about criminal records that may affect ridesharing drivers’ eligibility to drive. Checkr Continuous Check, which was designed with Uber, dynamically identifies potentially disqualifying records to help ensure drivers continue to meet Uber’s safety standards.
“With today's on-demand workforce, there's a need to move beyond static background reports to dynamic screenings," said Daniel Yanisse, CEO of Checkr. "Through Continuous Check, Checkr is creating a new standard of safety for the ridesharing industry and beyond that will provide critical insight into changes in someone's background that may affect their eligibility to work."
Uber is the first company to adopt the technology. Using data sources that cover most new criminal offenses, Continuous Check provides notifications to Uber when a driver is involved in criminal activity. Uber can then investigate any potentially disqualifying information, such as a new and pending charge for a DUI, to determine whether the driver is still eligible to drive with Uber. This new technology allows Uber to continuously enforce its safety standards between annual reruns of background checks.
“Safety is essential to Uber and we want to ensure drivers continue to meet our standards on an ongoing basis,” said Gus Fuldner, Vice President of Safety and Insurance at Uber. “This new continuous checking technology will strengthen our screening process and improve safety.”
Designed initially to meet the stringent requirements of the ridesharing industry, Continuous Check will be available to all Checkr customers in Fall 2018.

We’ve Raised $100 Million to Help More Companies Accelerate Hiring
We are thrilled to announce that we’ve raised $100 million in Series C funding led by funds and accounts managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. with participation from existing investors Accel and Y Combinator. This is an important milestone for us, and we’re excited to put these funds to work to help our customers hire great people faster.
Since founding Checkr, we’ve been focused on providing fast, unbiased background checks, while championing a fairer future through fair chance hiring for the 70 million Americans with a criminal record. Now, four years laters, we’re running one million background checks per month for more than 10,000 customers and have helped these companies hire millions of people.
Broadening customer reach into new industries
With this investment, we’re accelerating our expansion into enterprise sectors, including staffing and retail, to help these high volume hiring industries compete in today’s growing landscape of flexible workers, where speed to hire is critical.
We’re excited to help companies like Adecco and Allstate and rideshare leader Lyft, modernize their screening practices for the new world of work, bringing speed, transparency and fairness to their hiring - and, ultimately, a better future for workers. These are just three recent examples of companies joining the ranks of thousands of others who rely on our background check platform to support their hiring needs.
Boosting our technology and our team
Today’s funding will also allow us to expand our background check technology, furthering the roles of artificial intelligence and machine learning within our core platform to increase speed, data insights and accuracy for our customers.
To help us achieve these goals, we will nearly double our employee headcount in 2018. We’ll be hiring across engineering and product to help expand our platform, sales and compliance to drive our enterprise growth, and many others. As part of our team growth, we are also striving to hit a five percent fair chance hiring goal at Checkr by the end of the year.
Even more to come
At the core of Checkr, we are deeply committed to building and supporting a better future for workers by allowing the overlooked to have a fair chance at employment and providing companies with the insights to find the best candidates for the job. With this funding, we’ll be able to continue this mission and help shape the future of this new world of work.

背景调查技术公司 Checkr宣布获得4000万美金B轮融资 由Y Combinator领投
去年十月HRTech报道过《Checkr B轮融资3000万美元，由Y Combinator领投》，今天Checkr 宣布完成4000万美金B轮融资！（Today, Checkr is formally announcing that round: it has raised a Series B of $40 million）
Check 我们曾经多次报道过，这是一家使用技术驱动的背景调查公司，通过给客户提供API的方式让客户轻松的使用Checkr来完成员工的基本背景信息核实，如犯罪记录，家庭住址，SSN，信用记录等信息，可以通过Checkr简化入职流程中的审查环节，而像 Workable 和 Zenefits 等 HR 管理工具也能通过 API 接入 Checkr。
融了这笔钱，其法国籍的CEO Daniel Yanisse 表示将用于继续投入产品开发，扩展新的销售团队以及扩展到更大的市场。目前他们的业务仅限于美国和加拿大，更多的对手像传统的强大的调查公司 SterlingBackCheck, HireRight, and First Advantage，当然也有新的竞争者Goodhire 等。
Checkr 这家公司发展非常迅速，HRTech曾经到过这家刚开始只有5个人在阳谷县的办公室，2014年下旬当时刚刚获得10万美金的天使资金。一路发展过来，速度很快，也非常看好这家公司的发展！
在中国背景调查希望做到这样的便捷基本不容易，基于各种信息的不完整性和不公开；随着个人征信的牌照越来越多或许是有更多的机会。国内有一些公司基于社交网络信息抓取候选人的情况作出判断，这个方面Checkr 表示会考虑类似的做法，但是更多基于道德的因素暂未开展（听起来很汗颜。。。哈）。
Checkr 发展很快还有两个核心的原因，第一个就是其技术，第二个就是一开始就收费 25美金/人，类似美国的二手车Carfax收费。同时美国的自由职业者非常多，很多公司对这样轻量级的背景调查需求很旺盛！
总之我们很看好！
中国哪家会跟上？
自动化雇员背景调查公司Checkr完成900万美元融资
旨在以API和交互界面的方式自动化、批量式地向企业提供新员工背景调查的Checkr刚刚完成了一笔900万美元融资。
Checkr目前已有约50个客户，主要是一些需要弹性雇佣自由劳动力的公司，比如同城物流服务商Instacart，以及家政O2O公司Homejoy等。
该公司在今年8月份的YC开放日上博得了Aceel Partners的关注，Aceel也成为本轮融资的领投方。
按需经济（on-demand economy）呈爆炸式增长，使得消费者通过自己的手机就能享受到各种各样的商品或服务。不过所有这些需要招聘承包人运送乘客、交付货物、或者打扫房间的新兴公司都需要做员工的背景调查，Checkr希望能助他们一臂之力。
如今在新资金的帮助下，Checkr将会以更好的状态为这些按需公司提供服务。该公司获得的900万美元融资由Accel Partners领投，Accel Partners合伙人里奇·王（Rich Wong）加入该公司董事会。参与投资的还有Khosla Ventures，SVAngel，Data Collective，Google Ventures，鲍比·雅齐达尼（Bobby Yazdani），埃拉德·吉尔（Elad Gil），韦斯利·陈（Wesley Chan），斯科特·班尼斯特（Scott Banister），约书亚·沙克特（Joshua Schachter），大卫·斯佩克特（David Spector），保罗·布克海特（Paul Buchheit），凯文·黑尔（Kevin Hale），卡萨尔·尤尼斯（Qasar Younis），伊利亚·苏克哈（Ilya Sukhar）以及迪克昂·伯恩斯坦（Tikhon Bernstam）。
Checkr提供的服务能够让大部分为人工操作的背景调查流程得到简化，从而更加简便地集成到公司原有的入职流程中。在Checkr平台上，各家公司能够通过在线表单或者在招聘系统中整合Checkr的API完成对新员工的审核。
该公司提供一系列的背景调查，包括验证社保号码，检查住址历史，是否有性侵历史，是否在恐怖分子监控名单或者国家犯罪数据库中。额外缴费的话，它还能提供驾驶记录的背景调查。
在电话中，王表示Accel之所以对Checkr产生兴趣，是因为他们能够为这个数十年没有太大进步的行业提供一个API。由此他将Checkr与支付处理公司Braintree相提并论，Braintree在被PayPal收购之前也曾是Accel投资的一家公司。
按需经济的快速扩张导致对Checkr服务需求的迅猛上涨。该公司员工仅有4位，已经和50多家企业客户签约，其中包括Homejoy，iCracked，Instacart以及Doordash。王指出，通过部署先进的API，Checkr能够扩张到非常庞大的规模，靠人工客户支持是完全无法实现的。
Checkr的客户目前每月发送约10000条调查请求，7月份我们最近一次报道Checkr时这一数字约为2000。据联合创始人丹尼尔·雅尼斯（Daniel Yanisse）称，这一增长部分源自新增客户，部分源自原先主要客户的团队扩张。
当然，不排除“按需经济”有过于夸大、投资过热的可能。雅尼斯表示，如果出现宏观经济放缓，人们不愿意付钱找人取脏衣服清洗的情况，融资资金将会给他们提供一定的缓冲。与此同时，该公司正在想方设法集成到更多新兴公司的招聘系统中。
另外据王所说，Checkr也表现出对所谓的“共享经济”（sharing economy）的兴趣。“客户开始尝试新兴业务。”他说道。
这将为该公司带来更为广阔的机遇：毕竟美国大约三分之一的劳动力都是自由职业者或是临时工，依赖承包人的公司的数量将会持续增长。随着这些业务向新的地区不断扩张，Checkr的业务也会一同扩张。
Checkr.Inc., a startup that expedites background checks on new hires and delivers them in bulk to businesses, has secured $9 million to expand.
The company wants to overhaul what has been a time-consuming process by delivering reports as an API, or application programming interface, which automatically runs checks and connects to companies’ hiring systems. Checkr competes against the likes of Sterling Infosystems Inc. and newer startups including GoodHire Inc. and BeenVerified Inc.
Among Checkr’s 50 or so customers using the API to more quickly mobilize armies of freelance workers are on-demand companies like home delivery startup Instacart Inc., cleaning service Homejoy Inc. and onsite screen repair company iCracked Inc.
The company caught the attention of Accel Partners at Y Combinator’s Demo Day in August.
“It’s a combination of the $4 billion [background check] market and the right technology approach,” said Accel Partners Partner Rich Wong, who led the Series A round. “I’d say 70% or so of the companies we invest in these days are all about software reducing inefficiencies and cutting expenses. Big data is finding patterns in things that humans can’t.”
Mr. Wong said he also liked Checkr’s approach: Like online payment company Stripe Inc. and communications startup Twilio Inc., Checkr delivers reports in the form of an API, which automates the process and becomes part of the customer’s workflow.
Co-founded by Daniel Yanisse and Jonathan Perichon in April, Checkr pulls information about individuals from public and private data sources and delivers results to employers in two days or less. The startup, which employs just four, gathers information from driving records, courts, sex offender sites, terrorist watch lists and other sources. Checkr’s software then cleans the data to make it compliant with each state’s privacy regulations and eliminates items like arrests that didn’t lead to convictions or offenses that occurred more than seven years ago.
Each reports costs $25 or $35, depending on how detailed it is.
“We’re going to use this round to hire the most talented engineers we can,” Mr. Yanisse said. “We believe in engineers. We will use them to automate marketing and sales. We want to use them to build all the tools we can to scale the business.”
Mr. Yanisse said he is pleased with Checkr’s growth–the startup now does more than 500 reports a day–and is focused next on U.S. expansion.
International growth will be harder, he said.
“The privacy laws are a lot harder in Europe,” he said. “The biggest challenge is international.”
Khosla Ventures, SV Angel, Data Collective and Google Ventures also participated in the round along with private investors including Bobby Yazdani, Elad Gil, Wesley Chan, Scott Banister, Joshua Schachter, David Spector, Paul Bucheit, Kevin Hale, Qasar Younis, Ilya Sukhar and Tikhon Bernstam.
Mr. Wong joins the board.
