<p>Each legacy entity handled its own background checks and drug screenings-often using up to six different vendors. Some relied entirely on manual processes, resulting in background checks that could take as long as two weeks.</p>

<p>We didn’t have any line of sight into where a drug screen was. We’d have to email vendors for updates, and candidates were reaching out asking what the delay was.</p>

<p>ArchKey first encountered Checkr when one of its legacy companies was using the platform sporadically. As Leslie began standardizing systems across the organization, Checkr kept surfacing as a recommended<b></b>partner during discussions with other HR tech providers.</p>

<p>We looked into Checkr because it was a preferred partner of Jobvite, our ATS. We were really impressed with how quickly they turned background checks around, how much automation there was, and how intuitive the process felt.</p>

<p>Full background check packages - including criminal, education, employment, and drug screenings - are now typically completed within 3-4 days of candidate submission, a process that previously took up to two weeks. Even drug screens alone now average just 3-4 days from the time a candidate submits a sample.</p>

<p>Because the system is so easy to use and there’s so much automation, it’s really lifted the burden of monitoring where each background check was. We operate much more efficiently now.</p>
