A lot of people assume Shipt is personally reviewing every background check, but most of the screening actually runs through Checkr. That alone explains why mistakes and outdated info can slip through so easily. When something old or flat-out wrong shows up, it’s usually not Shipt making an independent decision — they’re relying on what the background check company reports.
I went looking for how that whole pipeline works after seeing people get stuck or rejected with no clear explanation, and this breakdown helped connect the dots: https://consumerattorneys.com/article/shipt-uses-checkr-for-employee-background-checks. It lays out who’s involved and where things tend to break down, which makes the process a lot less mysterious and a lot more frustrating once you realize how hands-off it can be.
Curious if others here have had similar issues with third-party background checks holding things up.
