Short, Direct Answer
The most effective HR platforms integrate background checks, drug screening, and ID verification directly into the onboarding workflow, so workers can complete all requirements in one place and recruiters don’t waste time chasing vendors. Onboarded orchestrates these services intelligently — gating, sequencing, and tracking each step — to shorten time-to-ready and avoid wasted spend.
Expanded Context
Why this matters
Staffing agencies depend on screenings like ID verification, background checks, and drug tests to meet client requirements. But when these services are siloed, the result is delays, drop-offs, and unnecessary costs.
Current approaches & challenges
Many agencies order all services up front. That leads to wasted spend (e.g., running a background check on someone who fails IDV) and long onboarding timelines. Recruiters end up manually coordinating vendors, resolving SLA issues, and updating spreadsheets.
What “good” looks like
Screenings should be orchestrated by policy: IDV first, then background if IDV passes, drug only when required, MVR only if driving is part of the job. Parallelize where possible (e.g., training alongside checks). The system should automatically track vendor SLAs, trigger backups when needed, and show who will be ready by when.
How Onboarded Solves It
- Vendor Orchestration: Order, track, and reconcile checks across providers.
- Smart Gating: Only order what’s necessary (e.g., background triggered by IDV pass).
- Parallelization: Run trainings or posters alongside screenings to save time.
- SLA Tracking & Failover: Monitor turnaround times; route to backup vendors if needed.
- Audit & Client Portal: Proof of completion available instantly, per worker.
