Retail Hiring Insights
Securing your store, staff, and customers
Employee theft typically accounts for over 40% of retail shrinkage. Background checks are your first line of defense. But they also protect your customers and your brand reputation by ensuring you aren't hiring individuals with history of violence or harassment.
Can I run background checks on seasonal hires?
Yes, and you should. Seasonal hires have access to the same merchandise, cash, and customers as permanent staff. Our instant packages are priced effectively specifically for temporary and seasonal high-volume hiring.
