The Kimpton-Checkr Story
Building a memorable customer experience is a top priority for Kimpton Hotels, so ensuring their candidate experience also reflects that spirit and philosophy around hospitality is critical to their success. In order to optimize the candidate experience, Kimpton joined with Checkr in 2020, and saw their average turnaround time on background checks improve from 7 days to less than a day.
As Kimpton’s hotels began to open back up in early 2021, hiring increased along with their need for candidates. Kimpton relies on the quick turnaround that Checkr provides to support their 5,000 annual background checks and keep candidates engaged throughout the hiring process. The way that Kimpton curates and optimizes experiences for their external guests, they strive to do the same for their candidates. Checkr provides the speed, constant communication, and mobile optimization that creates a positive experience for Kimpton’s candidates.
