Case Study: Sailormen Inc. speeds up background checks and saves costs with Checkr

How Sailormen Runs Efficient Background Checks For Its Popeyes Restaurants

Sailormen Inc., the Popeyes franchisee operating 200+ restaurants across Florida and Georgia, needed a faster, simpler way to run thorough pre-employment background checks for its 2,000+ employees. Before using Checkr, the team relied on multiple vendors plus paper-based, faxed documentation, which slowed hiring and created unnecessary friction.

With Checkr’s criminal background checks and integration with Workstream, Sailormen moved to a fully digital process where candidates only needed to provide an email address. Checkr’s speed, adjudication tools, and candidate portal helped Sailormen complete most checks within 24 hours, reduce turnaround time by 85%, save nearly $10 per check, and keep onboarding moving with virtually zero candidate drop-off due to report delays.
