Ready to run background checks the modern way?
Hiring at full speed—with tools stuck in first gear
As Copperweld’s business expanded, the HR team’s manual screening process couldn’t keep up. Recruiters spent hours entering candidate information, verifying employment histories, and juggling calls with local screening providers.
With new facilities and rising demand, Copperweld needed a faster, centralized solution to manage background checks company-wide.
Rewiring the hiring process with Checkr
Copperweld first heard about Checkr from a trusted HR professional in the team’s network who recommended it for its speed and reliability.
After reviewing several options, Copperweld chose Checkr for its ease of use, speed, and transparent pricing—all essential for a company managing high-volume hiring.
Hiring that keeps up with production
Checkr transformed Copperweld’s process from manual to modern. Recruiters can now send dozens of background checks at once instead of one at a time.
Candidate experience that moves faster
With Checkr, candidates enter their own information, ensuring accuracy and eliminating recruiter follow-up.
Lower costs, higher efficiency
Switching to Checkr also reduced screening costs—a win for both the HR team and the business. “There was about a 50% reduction in our costs as well,” Pam noted.
