From Humble Beginnings

The Checkmate Story

Created by recruiters and compliance leaders, Checkmate was born out of frustration with clunky, outdated hiring processes. We knew there had to be a better way to protect teams, reduce risk, and move faster—without sacrificing accuracy. So we built it. Today, Checkmate helps organisations screen candidates quickly, securely, and with total confidence—no chasing, no stress, just smarter hiring.
