Our reports
A clean, easy-to-read, audit-ready report.
Every SafestHires report opens with a clear status pill, candidate identity, and time-to-completion at the top. The body spells out exactly which checks ran — identity, criminal (federal & county), employment history, MVR, and drug panel — and the result of each, so your hiring managers can decide in seconds. An immutable audit trail and FCRA confirmation close the file.
- Per-row verification status, not buried PDFs
- Time-to-clear visible at a glance
- FCRA-compliant disclosures included
- Tamper-evident audit trail per case

Field reports
What hiring leaders actually say after switching.
"We cut median turnaround from nine days to under one, and our recruiters can finally make verbal offers in the same conversation as the final interview."
"The first time I called SafestHires a real person answered on the second ring and knew my account by name. That has not stopped being true in three years."
"Our compliance audit took two hours instead of two weeks. Every record had a verifier, a channel, and a timestamp. That is what defensible looks like."

Every SafestHires customer gets a dedicated U.S.-based specialist who knows your account, your role library, and your hiring cadence. No tickets. No scripts. No offshore queues. The average phone pickup is under twelve seconds — and the team that picks up is FCRA-certified.
