Newman's Own: a SafestHires case study
A nationally recognized brand swapped a slow, off-shored vendor for faster reports, US-based service, and free verifications.
Short answer
What results did Newman's Own get with SafestHires?
Newman's Own replaced a vendor that took up to two weeks per report with SafestHires, gaining faster turnaround, US-based support, and free references and employment verifications with every order.
Newman's Own is a nationally recognized food company. Founded in 1982 by actor Paul Newman and author A. E. Hotchner, the company donates all of its after-tax profits to charity through Newman's Own Foundation, supporting child-focused programs.
In 2020, Newman's Own was looking for a new background checks vendor that offered faster turnaround time and better customer service with built-in cost savings. As a nationally recognized brand, they wanted a vendor that would consistently deliver accurate results, quickly, and they wanted the ability to easily communicate with customer service. The vendor they had been using was taking up to two weeks to complete reports and they off-shored their customer service, which created some language barriers that were frustrating.
After placing five free orders with SafestHires and interacting with our US based service team, they were convinced that we could meet their needs. They also really liked that we agreed to give them free references and employment verifications with every order.
"The SafestHires system is very easy but it's also very robust. We love how their Insta-Clear product closes county criminal searches so quickly, the system capabilities cover every scenario we need and getting references and employment verifications at no cost has been amazing."
