About SafestHires
Mission discipline,
applied to hiring.
SafestHires was founded by U.S. Navy veterans who believed the background screening industry had drifted from its purpose. Reports were slow. Support was offshore. Data quality was an afterthought. We built SafestHires to bring back the standard the hiring teams we serve deserve: fast, accurate, accountable, and answered by a real person on the first call.
What we stand for
Five operating principles that shape every order we run.
Accuracy first
If a hit cannot be corroborated at the source, it does not go on the report.
Mission discipline
Veteran-led. We finish what we start and own the outcome.
Candidate dignity
The candidate is a person, not a record. Our intake reflects it.
Compliance by design
FCRA, fair chance, and jurisdictional rules are built into the workflow.
Customer obsession
Average phone pickup under 12 seconds. The team that answers knows your account.
Our story
A standard worth defending.
Two decades in, the mission is the same: deliver the cleanest report, in the shortest time, to the hiring team that needs it most.
Founded by Gulf War Navy Veterans.
Built around a single hypothesis: hiring teams want a CRA that picks up the phone, owns its accuracy, and clears reports in hours, not days.
Proprietary platform launched with eConsent and mobile-first intake.
Co-designed with input from more than 1,000 HR professionals across staffing, healthcare, logistics, and financial services.
Crossed 2,700 direct digital court integrations.
Insta-Clear coverage now extends to 48 states and the majority of the most populous counties in the country.
Trusted by hundreds of hiring teams nationwide.
Median report time under four hours, 89% same-day clear rate, dispute rate below 0.02%, and an average phone pickup time under twelve seconds.
Recognized for the service we ship, not the ads we run.
