1. Start by connecting your brand,
to the applicant experience

Why it matters

Applicants that recognize and align to your brand and mission are generally stronger employees.  Creating an onboarding experience that connects your brand identity, purpose, and intentionality is important.  Rather than sending out templated, unrecognizable, boring emails – send invites that get your employees excited to be joining the team.  

  • Add your logo in Vetty and it will automatically update the applicant communications to include your branding. 
  • Customize your “Get Started” email to put the perfect touch of Brand, Mission, or any other helpful information to get them onboarded smoothly. 

2. Use, or create new packages
based on the applicant’s role

Why it matters

Not all roles require the same background check packages, and a “one-size fits all” approach can lead to overspending, or possibly, may not be evaluating the areas of concern most important to their role.  In Vetty, you can set up as many packages as you’d like, this will allow you to build the packages that fit the role, budget, and requirements.  

  • With Vetty Self Service – you get our four most common packages.  Need to add a package? No big deal – email support@vetty.co and we’ll help you build the perfect package. 
  • When working with the Vetty Design Team, we will build the perfect packages together.  

3. Add your users, and set their permissions  

Why it matters

If you have a teammate, an HR team, or Operations teams involved in the background experience – get the whole team on Vetty together and working cohesively.  Setting up Vetty with your teammates, users, and permissions only takes seconds.
