We’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: HR teams have got a lot on their plate right now. A whole lot.
There are new practical protocols and cultural norms to develop as some employees return to the office…or develop hybrid or entirely remote schedules. There’s also the fallout from the Great Resignation, with HR teams in a near constant hiring cycle—note that, despite rising inflation, unemployment has stayed down. It’s somehow still a laborer’s market out there in many sectors.
And then there are the day-to-day responsibilities HR teams take on, from coordinating benefits to retaining talent, and of course, onboarding new employees.
With so much work, HR teams need to find ways to add efficiencies to their operations. TrendSource’s Remote I-9 Verifications allow HR to outsource employment eligibility verification. Here’s how it works.
How Remote I-9 Verifications Work
With Remote I-9 Verifications, companies can simply submit their New Hire’s name and email address to TrendSource’s online ordering portal. After that, it’s in TrendSource’s very experienced hands.
TrendSource contacts the New Hire and prompts them to complete Section 1 of Form I-9. TrendSource also schedules a meeting time and place for the New Hire to meet a local Field Agent, who completes Section 2 with the New Hire and then submits it to TrendSource’s online portal.
At that point, it is looked over by TrendSource QA and made available the company’s HR team in the client dashboard.
It’s efficient, it’s rapid, and it allows HR teams to focus on more pressing matters.
TrendSource Remote I-9 Verifications
TrendSource long ago developed a nationwide Field Agent database that allows it to rapidly connect Agents to projects anywhere in the country. This means that wherever a company is based, and their New Hire may live, TrendSource is ready to able to find a reliable Field Agent to complete the I-9 Verification in -person with the New Hire.
TrendSource’s highly-trained QA team ensures that everything looks right with the completed I-9—any mistakes can quickly be corrected by the dedicated Field Agent, but there are rarely mistakes.
Look, there are several ways to complete Form I-9 with a New Hire, but most are a burden on employers and their HR teams. Even outsourced solutions oftentimes require a lot of legwork on the employer’s part.
But TrendSource’s Remote I-9 Verifications take the work out of company’s hands, helping them focus on more important tasks. Once employers provide TrendSource with the New Hire’s name and email address upon placing an order through the online portal, it’s out of their hands and into TrendSource’s very capable ones.
HR teams are busy. TrendSource helps carry some of the burden.
