Case Study: Woodgrain Millwork achieves improved workplace safety and higher-quality hiring with GoodHire

Woodgrain Millwork Improves Workplace Safety And Hiring Practices With GoodHire

Woodgrain Millwork, a national molding and millwork manufacturer, was struggling with high turnover (~40% annually) and inconsistent screening across a distributed HR team, which made it difficult to hire and retain workers who prioritized safety, integrity, and respect. To solve this, Woodgrain centralized its background screening on the GoodHire platform, using GoodHire’s customizable background screening services and candidate-communication features to align hiring with company and community values.

GoodHire deployed a centralized, best-practice screening policy through its platform and supported implementation with its US-based customer success team, going live in under 24 hours with minimal training for 33 HR professionals. As a result, Woodgrain now processes about 1,500 background checks per year, screens 100% of candidates through GoodHire, achieved quick adoption and full compliance, and reported a material reduction in workplace safety issues along with more qualified, values-aligned hires.
