Checkr powers safe and fair decisions across work and everyday life. The company announced Tim Yarbrough as chief financial officer today. Checkr modernized the background check industry over recent years. Now, it targets a $40 billion opportunity across identity, mortgage, and tenant verifications.
Yarbrough joins during strong company growth across multiple sectors. More than 130,000 businesses rely on Checkr for important decisions. Millions of individuals also depend on its platform daily. These decisions include hiring, loan approvals, contractor screening, and caregiver onboarding. Demand continues to rise as digital risks increase worldwide. AI-generated fraud now includes synthetic identities and fabricated credentials. Therefore, incomplete or unverified information creates greater consequences than before.
“Tim is joining Checkr at a pivotal moment,” said Daniel Yanisse, co-founder and CEO of Checkr. “AI is reshaping how society evaluates people and makes decisions, and as we continue to invest in building the AI verification platform for critical decisions in life, Tim’s experience scaling a company through a similar stage of growth is exactly what we need.”
Experienced Leadership to Strengthen Financial Strategy
Yarbrough brings over 20 years of finance and operations leadership experience. He has led teams in high-growth technology companies successfully. He spent more than a decade working at ZipRecruiter. Most recently, he served as chief financial officer at the company. He scaled a two-sided labor marketplace during his tenure. He also built strong financial infrastructure to support business expansion. Before that, he held strategic finance roles at Converto Inc. and Qualcomm. Yarbrough will report directly to CEO Daniel Yanisse at Checkr. He will oversee capital allocation, resource management, and fiscal performance. He will also support growth across expanding product lines.
“What drew me to Checkr is the mission at the core of everything it does,”said Yarbrough. “Trust is the foundation of so many of life’s most important moments, and the stakes of getting a decision wrong – for a business, a family, an individual – have never been higher. Checkr gives everyone involved the full picture so those decisions are grounded in verified information, not guesswork. The opportunity to help scale that into new markets, at a company whose core data asset only gets stronger over time, is what makes this role so compelling.”
