Office and field

Careers at The BARS Program

BARS hires for two very different kinds of work. Office teams run the program. Field Checkers do the checks. Both matter equally, and both are how the standard has held since 1997.

Office-based roles

Open positions in operations, account management, regulatory tracking, and engineering are posted as they become available. BARS office roles are typically remote-friendly with periodic in-person team meetings.

Field-based BARS Checker positions

BARS hires verified 21 to 25 year olds to run compliance checks in their local market. Here is the whole job. You carry an age-restricted product to the register. The associate either asks for your ID or does not. Nothing is purchased, and no money changes hands. Then you hand the associate a Green Card if they carded you, or a Red Card if they did not, and you leave. Store teams already know the program runs. They just do not know which customer is the check until the card is in their hand. Visits are short, scheduled during normal business hours, and paid per visit. A background check, age verification, and brief training are required.

How we work

Four habits define the team.

  • Independent. We own our work and we tell the truth usefully.
  • Service-led. Every visit serves the cashier, the manager, and the license holder.
  • Quietly rigorous. No theater, no jargon, no shortcuts on scoring.
  • Long-term. Plenty of our team and our clients have been with BARS for 10+ years.

Common questions

Can I be a BARS Checker if I'm over 25?
BARS recruits Checkers aged 21 to 25 to match the age range regulators use for their own enforcement checks. We do not place Checkers outside that range on compliance checks, but other field roles may be available.
Are BARS Checker positions full-time?
No. Checker roles are part-time and paid per visit. Most Checkers run visits as flexible side income alongside school or another job.
