/ The reality

Lines don't wait.
Neither should screening.

Manufacturing recruiters live and die by start dates. Slow background checks drive no-shows, missed quotas, and overtime burn. Ethur clears most candidates in hours so production stays on schedule.

Without Ethur
  • Days-long report turnarounds
  • Recruiters chasing paperwork at the plant gate
  • Manual MVR and DOT pulls
  • Drug test scheduling by phone
  • No visibility into pipeline status
With Ethur
  • Same-day clears for most roles
  • Mobile-first candidate flow with SMS reminders
  • Auto-scheduled drug tests at 14,000+ sites
  • MVR & DOT included in one workflow
  • Real-time dashboard for plant managers
/ Built for you

Every check the
plant floor demands.

Drug & alcohol testing

5, 9, and 10-panel testing with eChain CoC, DOT-regulated panels, and certified MRO review.
