What is a background-checked Worker?

GigSmart helps you find verified workers who have passed background checks.

Background checked workers are eligible workers over the age of 18 who have passed a Checkr background check. Checkr is a third-party solution used by many companies, like Uber, to process background checks. 

Background checks are completely optional, but are added to your Shift Gig by default. This is intentionally done to give you the best possible applicant pool for each of your Shift Gigs. There are no additional fees for sourcing background checked workers versus non-background checked workers. 

If you choose to remove this optional Add-On, we want to remind you that you’re sourcing unverified workers at your own risk.
