Case Study - Logistics A nation wide logistics organization with 4000 hiring candidates per year was in need of consolidating their applicant screening system. In an industry riddled with high turnover and product loss, the implementation of a streamlined background checking process is a necessity. The high cost of an inadequate hiring process scattered throughout the branches was holding the company back. With twelve percent of the hiring pool hiding criminal records, resources were being misplaced even before the results of criminal histories were known. BackCheck’s 24 hour turnaround time promise put an end to this inefficiency, allowing for the consolidation of criminal record checks into a single medium. Hiring managers further gained the ability to track the quick progress online. During 2008, the percentage of candidates with poor employment histories rose by 42%. The dissemination of this information greatly helped to reduce employee attrition rates during already tough economic times.
