Case Study: Checkr completes employment verifications in 15-60 seconds with Argyle
Key results
The challenge
Checkr provides background-check services to tens of thousands of enterprises and startups. As part of onboarding, new employees had to enter previous work experience and upload supporting documents, which Checkr then verified manually by phone or email. In total, that process took 1-4 business days.
The solution
Checkr embedded Argyle's PBSA-accredited employment verification into its onboarding process. New employees auto-verify previous employment by connecting directly to their payroll records in 15 to 60 seconds, removing manual data entry and reviews while keeping the job search confidential from a current employer.
The results, in context
With Argyle, Checkr reduced turnaround time from up to 4 days to under 60 seconds and realized up to 90% customer cost savings relative to other data providers. Automating the process delivered 100% verified data by removing fraudulent-document and human-error risk. In 2022 alone, Checkr unblocked 2.2 million candidates with barriers to employment.
