Frankie's Hiring Horror Stories: The Violation Frankie Never Saw Coming

Frankie hired Victor Vamp for a position that required him to regularly drive a company vehicle. Before hiring Victor, Frankie ordered an MVR. His driving record looked good, so Victor was approved to drive.

What he didn't do was enroll Victor in MVR Monitoring. Months passed, and Frankie assumed everything was still fine.

But one dark and stormy night, that changed.

What Frankie didn't know: Victor received a DUI, and his driver's license was eventually suspended.

There was just one problem. Nobody at the company knew. Victor continued showing up for work and getting behind the wheel of a company vehicle.

Frankie's original MVR hadn't failed him. It simply showed Victor's driving record at the time it was ordered and without MVR Monitoring, Frankie had no automatic alert telling him that something had changed. And this problem was about to come back to bite him.

What happened next:
While driving a company vehicle with a suspended license, Victor was involved in an accident. That's when Frankie discovered what had happened.

The DUI. The suspended license. And the fact that Victor had continued driving for the company.
Suddenly, Frankie wasn't just dealing with an employee driving issue. The company was dealing with the consequences of not knowing that an employee's driving status had changed leading to a potential lawsuit and negative hit on the company's reputation.

What Frankie learned:
An MVR provides valuable information about a driver's record at a particular point in time. But for employees who continue driving after they're hired, circumstances can change.

MVR Monitoring can help employers become aware of relevant changes in driving records so they have an opportunity to review the situation and respond according to their policies and applicable requirements.

Frankie learned this lesson the scary way.

Representation can impact who applies.

New research highlighted by HR Dive suggests women may be less likely to pursue opportunities in fields where they do not see themselves represented. And that creates an important question for employers: What are candidates seeing when they look at your organization?

As a woman owned business, this topic hits close to home for us at VeriCorp. We encourage employers to think intentionally about how women are represented throughout their organization, from recruiting and hiring to leadership and career growth.

Representation today can help shape the workforce of tomorrow.

🏠 An empty unit costs money. The wrong tenant could cost even more.

When vacancies add up, it can be tempting to rush the approval process. But missed rent, property damage, lease violations, and eviction expenses can quickly outweigh the cost of waiting a little longer for the right applicant.

A consistent tenant screening process helps you move efficiently without sacrificing due diligence.

🤖 AI is moving fast, but are organizations truly ready for it?

A recent HR Dive article found that CHROs are significantly more skeptical than other executives about their organization's AI readiness, suggesting that HR leaders see challenges others may overlook.

AI has tremendous potential to improve hiring and HR processes, but successful adoption requires more than just technology. It takes thoughtful implementation, employee training, clear governance, and the right balance of human oversight.
