1 E-J Electric runs projects where every hour matters. Storm recovery teams must mobilize in days, hospitals need specialized technicians on demand, and large-scale builds can’t afford hiring delays.

2 But theirlegacy background check providerwas a bottleneck:

3 <ul><li>Reports wereunclear and difficult to analyze</li>

4 <li>The platform lackedmobile compatibilityfor field teams</li>

5 <li>Candidate linksexpired after seven dayswith no flexibility</li>

6 <li>No support forDOT-compliant employment verifications, forcing recruiters intofax machines, paper files, and endless follow-ups</li>

7 </ul>The cracks showed. Results tookthree or more days, compliance checks stretched intoweeks, and recruiters lost valuable time chasing documents instead of hiring.

8 The process before Checkr for those verifications was horrible. … My counterpart had to fax and email requests, make calls, and keep paper files-it was a nightmare.

11 When E-J Electric adopted a new HRIS platform,GoCo, Recruiting & Onboarding ManagerJesse Lendersaw a chance to reset. Their old provider didn’t integrate, so Jesse explored other options-and that’s when he found Checkr.

12 Checkr stood out for three reasons:

13 <ul><li>Customer-first experience</li>

14 <li>Ease of use and customization</li>

15 <li>Proven integrationswith leading HRIS platforms</li>

16 </ul>I'm big on customer experience, customer success, and that's where Checkr really got me and engaged me. Also the ease of use and ease of creating a package. I don't have to wait for Checkr to create them for me. I have the option right in my dashboard.

19 Integration with GoCo, which Jesse expected to bemulti-week and complex, was handled in days by Checkr’s team.

20 This wasn't my first implementation or integration and this was shockingly simple. I just provided Checkr with what was needed and the Checkr team made it happen quickly.

23 Turnaround times dropped by71%-from days to hours. For storm-disaster recovery and other urgent hires, that speed is critical.

24 Simply put, Checkr has helped tremendously. … The ability to integrate with other platforms and create custom-built packages saves me hours each week. I don't have to jump between different software or tools-it’s all in one place.

27 Before Checkr, DOT verifications requiredmanual outreach to every previous employer-calls, faxes, letters, and signatures. Now the process is fully automated.

28 With Checkr, we have visibility into when Checkr conducted the outreach and haven't had to do any of those manually since.

32 Under the E-J umbrella, theTransmission and Distribution (T&D) divisiondeploys nationwide during storms. With Checkr’smobile-compatible platform, Jesse’s team can send onboarding packets and background checks instantly, getting crews to disaster zones without delay.

33 E-J Electric now runssix custom background check packagesinstead of three fixed options. Onboarding packets automatically trigger the correct background check for each role and location, reducing manual steps and errors.

34 Reports providetransparent explanations and detail, giving recruiters and candidates confidence in the process.

35 When it comes to the quality and accuracy of the information we receive from Checkr, we trust it. The explanations that Checkr provides gives us more detail.

42 Recruiters savehours each week, compliance is built into the workflow, and nationwide teams can be deployed quickly when disaster strikes. Candidates benefit from a seamless, transparent experience that builds trust from the start.

43 And the best part? Jesse knows this is only the beginning.

44 I look at the growth opportunities when evaluating software and it's clear to me based on what I've seen from Checkr, you're not done growing yet. Checkr continues to add features, enhancements, and it's exciting to see what's coming. It's comforting to know that as we grow as a company, Checkr will also be growing.
