Case Study: FOSS Swim School improves background check speed and transparency with Checkr

How switching to Checkr increased the transparency, accessibility and speed of their background screenings

FOSS Swim School partnered with Checkr because it needed a background check provider that could integrate with its existing ATS and support rapid hiring across multiple locations. As FOSS expanded and hired more nontraditional candidates, it also needed a background check process that was accurate, transparent, and easy for applicants to navigate. Checkr’s Candidate Portal and Criminal Background Checks were part of the solution.

With Checkr, FOSS improved the speed and experience of screening by giving candidates real-time status updates, mobile access, and support through the Candidate Portal, while also using Candidate Stories to add context to records and support fair chance hiring. The results included a 78% reduction in average background check turnaround time, stronger candidate trust, and a faster, more seamless hiring process that helped FOSS keep up with growth.
