What GCheck does

GCheck is a U.S.-based background screening and identity verification company that delivers hire-to-retire screening services to employers, staffing agencies, and recruiting organizations. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Los Angeles, the company operates as a FCRA-regulated consumer reporting agency (CRA) and PBSA-accredited provider, with HIPAA compliance achieved in June 2026 for healthcare screening workflows. Its product portfolio spans five categories — Identity & Trust (digital ID verification, SSN trace, CBSV, fingerprinting, biometric liveness, deepfake detection, and the trademarked Verified Entry™ product), Background Checks (state, county, and federal criminal, sex offender registry, MVR, civil, global watchlist, employment credit), Verifications (employment, education, professional license, references, healthcare credentialing), Risk Monitoring (continuous criminal, driver, social media, OIG/FACIS, professional license), and Compliance Automation (I-9/E-Verify, adverse action, driver qualification files, WOTC), supplemented by drug and occupational health services.

The platform is built on an API-first architecture with native integrations to 73+ ATS and HRIS systems (Workday, Greenhouse, BambooHR, iCIMS, Oracle, SAP SuccessFactors, Rippling, UKG Pro, Bullhorn, Dayforce, and others), and combines AI-assisted automation with human-in-the-loop review to deliver 24–48 hour average turnaround on most U.S. checks at 99.9% reported accuracy. Computer-vision and multimodal AI are used for document authentication, biometric liveness, and detection of synthetic audio/video during virtual interviews.

GCheck generates revenue primarily through per-screen transaction fees across three pricing tiers ($24.95 Basic, $44.95 Standard, $64.95 Advanced) with no setup fees, no minimums, and no long-term contracts, supplemented by recurring subscription revenue from continuous monitoring and compliance-automation services. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales, inside sales, self-serve pay-as-you-go ordering, and channel-led growth through ATS/HRIS partnerships, with primary vertical focus on healthcare, transportation, and staffing agencies.
