YOU CAN'T OUT-MANAGE A BAD HIRE
Shrink, WC fraud, theft, high turnover — these aren't inevitable. They're the predictable result of hiring without behavioral screening. It is estimated that two-thirds of the United States GDP comes from retail consumption!
Staffing for retail can often be overwhelming between constant turnover coupled with endless candidates to choose from.
Retail Shrink & Theft
$112.1B in retail shrink in 2022 alone. Internal theft accounts for nearly two-thirds of shrink losses (NRF, 2023).
Substance abuse
5× more WC claims filed by substance abusers. They use 3× more sick days and are 4× more likely to cause accidents.
Fraud & Dishonesty
55% of applicants lie on résumés or applications. WC fraud alone costs U.S. businesses over $7.2B annually.
High Turnover
Replacing one retail worker costs 30–50% of their annual salary. Poor-integrity hires drive disproportionate churn.
