Daniel Yanisse and Checkr, a BambooHR Marketplace partner, are on a mission to improve background checks and give more people a second chance in the workforce. Even though background checks may seem like a small piece of the employee experience, Daniel discusses how they can impact a business’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and make a huge difference in the lives of people with criminal backgrounds.
Traditionally, background checks are a tedious, slow compliance step for HR, and as a candidate, you never really know what information they cover. Simplifying background checks and making them more transparent can be a big differentiator in the candidate experience, especially in such a tightly competitive job market.
Investing in candidates with less-than-perfect experience isn’t just a moral choice—it’s also good for business. As Daniel explains, an estimated 30 million Americans have criminal records, so there’s a huge pool of highly motivated and experienced workers just waiting to be tapped.
Some of the business benefits of giving people second chances include:
- Reduced cost of hire
- Increased diversity
- Higher employee loyalty and productivity
