Background check solutions for retailers

Even during the busiest seasons, Checkr’s modern background check platform helps retail companies scale hiring to meet demand.

Retailers can’t afford delays in the hiring process

Peak season revenue is lost

Understaffed stores and warehouses during your busiest season means poor customer service and lost sales.

Candidates drop off

Delays result in a poor candidate experience–if you can't make the offer first, seasonal workers will take a job with another retailer.

Hiring teams are frustrated

Slow turnaround times are a roadblock to an efficient recruiting process, causing their pool of eligible candidates to shrink.
