TrendSource is a true pioneer of employment eligibility verification, offering I-9 Verifications to our clients for over a decade. We are, of course, not the only provider out there but we do things a bit differently than our competitors.
And, as with so much else, the details matter.
Today, we are going to break down the key difference between our competitors I-9 products and our own TrendSource Virtual I-9 Verifications.
The biggest difference between TrendSource Virtual I-9 Verifications and our competitors is that a TrendSource employee virtually completes Section 2 with the client’s New Hires whereas our competitors ask New Hires to go out and find somebody to complete Section 2 with them.
Yikes.
That “somebody” can be a neighbor, a friend, a stranger, the person behind them in line at the grocery checkout. Anybody.
Finding this fourth party—seeing as there are already three: the New Hire, their company, and the provider—may not be the most challenging endeavor but it is nonetheless one given directly to the New Hire.
“Welcome aboard, now go find somebody on the street to say you are who you say you are!” As first impressions go, this is not the best.
Of course, if the New Hire has moved to a new city for their new job, they may not know anybody, placing them in an awkward position of finding somebody (again, anybody!) to help.
But finding a random person isn’t the biggest problem here, it’s the fact of their randomness.
They are everyday anybodies. Unless some freak of chance is afoot, this person will have no compliance experience beyond when they themselves completed their own I-9.
Contrast this with TrendSource, where a Verification Specialist schedules a virtual meeting with the New Hire to complete Section 2 together and file via E-Verify. This means no headaches for the New Hire, and the added confidence that they are dealing with an expert trained to ensure accuracy.
Easier on the New Hire, more reliable for the client.
That’s the TrendSource Virtual I-9 Verification difference.
