Hire Safely

Protect Employees and Customers

Making criminal background and MVR checks an integral part of the hiring process for all store associates and delivery drivers is beneficial not only to employees and customers but to employers as well. Protect your business and people while using industry-leading screening technology and automation to make smarter hiring decisions.

Protect Your Brand and Investment

In addition to creating a safer environment for your employees and customers, your franchise’s reputation should be a top priority. Implementing a standard screening program ensures consistency in the hiring process and protects the value of your franchisee’s brand and reputation.
