Before you can begin working 1099 tasks through Hyer, you must complete a background check.
How you start your background check depends on whether you're a new Tasker or an existing Tasker (for a background check renewal).
New Tasker
To start your background check:
- In the Hyer app, tap the Find Task tab, located in the bottom navigation bar.
- Find a 1099 task in your area.
- Select that task and tap the "I'm Interested" button.
- Follow the prompts to start your background check.

- Open the Hyer app.
- Tap the three-line menu in the upper-left corner.
- Select Account Information.

Important Information About Background Checks
- This background check process applies only to 1099 Independent Contractor Tasks. If you are a W2 Tasker, you will have the opportunity to take a separate background check through Ascen, once you are 'Selected' to work a task.
- You are responsible for the cost of your background check regardless of the results.
- Background check fees are non-refundable once the background check is in progress or completed.
- If your Hyer account was previously restricted, disabled, or deleted, creating a new account does not make you eligible to complete another background check or return to the Hyer platform.
