Recruitment
Cutting candidate onboarding from 4 days to 6 hours
A South Island generalist agency placing 60+ candidates a month moved from a paper-based vetting process to a fully automated StaffChecks workflow.
The challenge
Manual reference checks and paper consent forms meant candidates routinely sat in the pipeline for three to four working days before they could be placed. With seasonal demand spiking, the agency was losing placements to faster competitors.
The solution
A standard StaffChecks package — identity, right-to-work, MoJ criminal and structured referee questionnaires — sent as a single candidate link. Results delivered directly into the agency's ATS via shared PDFs.
"Candidates start, complete and finish vetting on their phone before they even sit down for the interview. It's changed how we sell to clients."
