As is the case with many companies in the retail industry, because of a subpar hiring process, a large retailer was experiencing many business disruptions associated with the hiring of less than desirable employees. Employee theft was up, as were customer service complaints. After analyzing the situation, the company realized that both situations were rooted in the same source -- improper and incomplete vetting of potential employees during the hiring process. The company was also suffering through a Department of Homeland Security audit for problems concerning the eligibility of some of their employees hired through this process. In many cases, the company simply did not screen potential employees in order to save money, money which they were quickly finding was not worth the risk to save.

Obviously in need of a more precise solution for new hires, the company employed the services of Pre-employ.com to standardize and automate a background screening process and ensure employment eligibility compliance with the government. The company implemented the pre-employment background screening process, which did incur an extra cost per employee. However, the company soon recouped its investment and realized a substantial return with the subsequent decrease in employee thefts after the background check implementation. The company also chose to outsource its entire employment eligibility process to the solely dedicated and automated pre-employ.com service. Fully employing pre-employ.com served as company best practice, as it freed their manpower to focus on business operations. The company also realized full return and profit on their investment in the rate of non-incidence of non-compliance. No longer spending money defending itself from audits, the company again realized savings far beyond the cost incurred.

Overall, the company enjoyed savings of $650,000 over the next five years because of the changes implemented by Pre-employ.com. The company also enjoyed the peace of mind of full compliance with government standards for employment eligibility. Also, as mentioned before, employee theft and customer complaints were considerably decreased as a direct result of programs implemented by Pre-employ.com.
