Case Study: Gonzaga University achieves 50% faster background checks and streamlined hiring with HireRight

Gonzaga University - Customer Case Study

Gonzaga University, a growing institution with more than 1,200 employees and 300+ hires annually, was constrained by a manual background-check process that slowed time-to-hire, increased HR workload and error risk, exposed staff to unnecessary candidate data, and sometimes left screenings incomplete after start dates—threatening campus safety and operational efficiency.

By adopting HireRight’s PeopleAdmin-integrated screening solution, Gonzaga automated ordering and pre-populated applicant data while allowing HireRight to contact candidates directly via portal, text, phone or email. Turnaround dropped to an average of 2.5 days (about 50% faster), eliminated roughly 30 minutes of manual data entry per candidate, improved the candidate experience, accelerated hiring and strengthened campus security.
