Case Study: Purple achieves faster, smoother pre-hire screening with Checkr

How Purple Innovation Transforms their Pre-Hire Process with Checkr

Purple Innovation, a retail and manufacturing company known for its GelFlex® Grid mattresses, needed a faster and more user-friendly way to manage pre-hire screening. Its previous background check provider could not meet the company’s needs for quick turnaround times, a better candidate experience on mobile, and a reliable Workday integration. Purple used Checkr for criminal background checks, drug testing, and MVR checks.

With Checkr, Purple improved its onboarding process and reduced candidate drop-off through a more streamlined, communication-driven candidate portal. Checkr helped cut drug testing turnaround time by 50% and brought criminal and MVR check results to an average of under 24 hours, with most checks completed within three days. The Checkr-Workday integration also went live ahead of schedule, giving Purple better visibility into hiring status and helping the team onboard new hires within one to two weeks of an offer.
