YRC Worldwide Hardwires Background Checks

YRC Worldwide
Inc., formerly known as Yellow Roadway Corporation, has successfully
implemented Taleo Verify(TM). Powered by Verified Person, the industry's
most advanced source for employee screening and offered by Taleo
Corporation, 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."
Taleo Verify is completely integrated with Taleo Enterprise, enabling
YRC Worldwide to hardwire background checks into the employee lifecycle.
Taleo taps Verified Person's comprehensive database and expansive court
runner network to deliver turnaround times that are 40 percent faster than
the industry average, drive down costs and increase accuracy, specifically
reducing frustrating false positives and negatives that breed negligence
lawsuits.
"Interesting times call for innovative solutions," said Tal Moise, CEO
of Verified Person. "With Taleo Verify, YRC executives can rest assured
they are using the latest employee screening tools available in the
marketplace today to mitigate risk."
