At Rézme, we believe that an individual’s redemption should include economic participation. To further our mission, we’re excited to announce our partnership with Checkr, a leading background check platform for employers. Together, we’re taking another step toward empowering companies to hire inclusively and effectively, unlocking the potential of every candidate throughout the hiring process.
The integration of Checkr into Rézme’s platform will make background checks faster, more transparent, and more human. Once implemented, Rézme’s users can seamlessly create Checkr accounts for candidates within our candidate portal. From there, users can order background checks directly through the platform.
Key Takeaways from the Partnership
- Efficient Candidate Screening: hiring managers can request background checks within the Rézme platform, saving time and simplifying the screening process.
- Enhanced Candidate Insights: The Restorative Record feature provides fuller understanding of a candidate’s skills and potential, allowing hiring managers to uncover hidden talents.
- Fair Chance Hiring: Supporting Fair Chance Hiring is at the heart of our partnership with Checkr. When a flag occurs during a background check, candidates can resubmit their information and provide supplemental documents for further review.
Donna Lynch-Cunningham, Assistant Dean of Human Resources for the Cornell College of Arts and Sciences, shares her experience with Rézme:
“This [Restorative Record] pilot program aligns with our vision of being renowned for the way we value people and highlights the skills and unique experiences of nontraditional talent, all while assisting us in addressing our hiring needs”
Rézme and Checkr are setting a new standard for hiring by creating opportunities where justice and technology meet. With this partnership, we’re not just enhancing the hiring process—we’re building a brighter, fairer future for all. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to expand and improve.
