Powered by Verified Person, the industry's most advanced source for employee screening and offered by Taleo Corporation (NASDAQ: TLEO),, the leading provider of talent management solutions, Taleo Verify can be used for pre-employment searches of public and private information as well as ongoing scans for new criminal infractions that raise red flags.
YRC Worldwide is one of the largest transportation service providers in the world and one of Fortune's most admired companies. With 70,000 global employees, cost-effective, accurate and timely background checks are an integral component to a comprehensive corporate security strategy.
"We plan to conduct nearly 20,000 background checks this year alone," said Mike Hofer, HR Project Manager, YRC Worldwide. "With this level of volume, we need a solution with scope and speed from a provider who passes the cost-savings generated by efficiencies to customers."
