Bev Smith Automotive Group: a SafestHires case study
A free trial proved the case: a friendlier system, more accurate results with county criminal searches added — and no net price increase.
Short answer
What results did Bev Smith Automotive Group get with SafestHires?
Bev Smith Automotive Group moved off a database-only screening approach, added county criminal searches for better accuracy, and got a friendlier system with no net price increase.
Bev Smith Automotive Group includes Toyota and Kia dealerships. The company has millions of dollars in inventory and their employees interface with customers all day. They need to protect their assets and ensure their customers are treated with kindness and respect.
They had been using a background checks vendor but the system was cumbersome and the vendor missed some records because they had recommended using a criminal database product only and not including county criminal searches.
Their HR Director, Lady Miranda, began researching vendors. After a free trial, she selected SafestHires. She said the free trial helped her determine that SafestHires' system was user friendly for her and her candidates, and she was impressed with our speed and accuracy.
Our system allows users to select their product and enter the candidate's name and email address, eliminating manual data entry. She now embeds a custom link into an offer letter that she can send out from her onboarding system for additional simplicity.
She was also impressed with how quickly we delivered completed reports and how we were able to maximize accuracy by confirming criminal records that candidates disclosed at the offer stage. Finally, while we added county criminal searches to her package, our pricing did not result in a net increase so she got better accuracy with no additional investment.
"I knew there had to be a solution out there that would provide accurate results. The live chat feature is really nice too because it's available to me and my candidates, which saves me time when candidates have questions about their background checks process."
