Vetting is a hiring and retention process that ensures than an employer (Sears) hires and keeps high-quality who can help achieve company objectives while working safely and securely in customers’ homes.

The vetting process at Sears Home Services begins with the application process and continues through the length of employment for service providers.

Here are the essential aspects of the vetting process at Sears.

Ensuring Applicant Information is Accurate

The first component of the vetting process is ensuring that all the previous job history and information provided by service provider applicants is accurate and truthful. Sears checks education records and previous job history to make sure we have knowledgeable and experienced service providers. Sears does hire applicants with limited experience in certain positions, but previous employment history is always verified. Additionally, references provided by the applicant are checked.

Background Checks

Along with verifying job history and education, Sears thoroughly checks the criminal background and credit history of applicants before deciding whether to make a job offers. Criminal background checks are a standard component of the hiring process for legitimate home service providers.

Customers feel safe knowing that employees are thoroughly screened for employment. The safety of fellow employees is also safeguarded when applicants’ backgrounds are thoroughly checked. Having employees with a track record of success helps everyone involved in the home services business.
