Case Study: TAL Building Centers achieves faster, more compliant hiring with Checkr

How TAL Building Centers Hires with Checkr

TAL Building Centers, a family-owned home improvement and hardware retailer with 32 locations across the Pacific Northwest, needed a faster, more compliant way to handle background checks, MVR checks, and candidate screening. Before Checkr, its team relied on manual spreadsheets and paper-based processes that were time-consuming, inconsistent, and made it harder to keep candidates informed and start hires on time.

By implementing Checkr with Paylocity, TAL used criminal background checks, driving record (MVR) checks, DOT checks, and Checkr Assess to automate adjudication and streamline compliance workflows. With Checkr, TAL cut background-check turnaround time by 80%, reduced MVR processing from about two weeks to minutes, improved visibility for HR and candidates, and strengthened compliance with DOT and FMCSA requirements.
