Small and mid-sized businesses increasingly face pressure to hire quickly and compliantly amid labor shortages and regulatory complexity. Fragmented systems often lead to delays, added friction, and heightened risk. By integrating Checkr's screening capabilities into Intuit's core payroll and HR tools, the partnership enables millions of businesses to build a more cohesive tech stack for hiring and workforce management.
"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."
"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."
The integration delivers several key advantages. Background checks appear directly in employee profiles for immediate visibility into progress and results. Automation speeds up screening while minimizing manual effort, allowing teams to focus on strategic priorities. Checkr's emphasis on fairness and accuracy helps businesses maintain compliance across varying regulations. The unified platform reduces tool-switching and data silos, creating a smoother experience for resource-constrained teams.
The embedded background check functionality is now live for all eligible QuickBooks Online Payroll and Intuit Enterprise Suite users. Checkr and Intuit plan to continue collaborating to further simplify employer operations and support business growth.
