United Airlines Speeds Up the Onboarding Process - Stridepath

**

![](https://stridepath.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/United-Airlines.png)

The Brief:****United Airlines was searching for a way to reduce the time to clear their employees for background checks by centrally managing the various clearance activities.

What We Did:****Stridepath Consulting proposed a solution with Lifecycle Events. This solution included a highly complex integration with Taleo to sync the background check status with the background checks LE activities.

Results:****Background checks are no longer a time-consuming process, but rather another efficient system for United Airlines. Through a very consultative, guided deployment, they were able to automate the pre-boarding process dramatically and shorten it from 12 weeks to 2 weeks.

Highlights:**
• Fortune 500 company
• Bi-directional Taleo Integration
• Integrated 9 different kinds of background checks

### Why Deskless Workers Need a Different Employee Experience

Unlike office employees, deskless workers move between production lines, warehouses, facilities, and shifts. Accessing employee services has to fit naturally into the way they work, not require them to stop what they're doing to navigate multiple systems or track down the right department.
