Corra Group Gets Ready for the Employment Screening Rush to Meet the New Trends in Holiday Season Shopping

Corra Group is getting ready for the rush of seasonal employment screening, as employers prepare to hire staff for the holiday season. With the economy strong, retailers and other businesses that rely on this season for much of their revenue, tend to hire larger staffs that not only service the brick and mortar shops, but the larger demands facilitated by the American public’s expanded mode of online shopping.

“We are realizing a sea change in the dynamic of the holiday shopping season,” said Corra Group Co-Founder, Nick Gustavson. “It is no longer a matter of just adding retail sales people, or a few extra staff in the stockroom. There is so much else to consider.

“Not only will businesses need retail staff, but with online shopping, it is necessary to hire extra staff for the fulfillment centers,” said Gustavson. “According to an article in eMarketer, Ecommerce’s share of total retail sales during the 2017 holiday shopping season will reach a record 11.5%. This means businesses like restaurants and trucking companies will need to ramp up both logistics in their inventory control and their number of drivers so that they can expedite delivery to shopper’s homes. Corra Group can provide a full complement of background checks to meet all the employment screening needs. From criminal records checks to motor vehicle driving records, we are a one-stop company.”
