Instant Checkmate

Instant Checkmate provides public record searches for background checks on prospective employees, tenants, or personal acquaintances. Users can uncover arrest records, contact info, known aliases, and social media footprints. The platform’s monthly subscription model covers unlimited searches, appealing to small landlords or frequent recruiters. Reports include possible financial, civil, and traffic records. However, it’s not strictly an FCRA-compliant system for formal hiring decisions. Still, Instant Checkmate is often used for preliminary background info or personal screening needs, with the caveat that official checks require an FCRA-compliant provider.
