Case Study: National Grocery Chain achieves rapid hiring and 24-hour background checks with Global HR Research

National Grocery Chain - Customer Case Study

National Grocery Chain, a retailer operating 200+ stores, faced urgent COVID-19 staffing pressure: they needed to rapidly hire 200–300 new employees per week while protecting existing staff and maintaining compliant background checks. The chain engaged Global HR Research and its Swift Hire approach alongside the Clairiti™ screening platform to meet strict requirements for 24‑hour turnaround, coast‑to‑coast applicant services, and a configurable ordering workflow.

Global HR Research implemented the Swift Hire program and Clairiti platform, providing quick access to disclosures/authorizations, 24‑hour criminal and social security checks, on‑demand training, and ATS integrations to scale screening nationwide. The solution supported the accelerated hiring pace without compromising compliance, delivered results within 24 hours, cut waiting times by up to 50%, and earned strong user feedback for reliability and responsiveness.
