Alex Strohm
Community One Inc

After searching for a reliable provider that could deliver exceptional customer service, fast turnaround times, comprehensive reporting, and accessible support for our screening needs, I discovered Reference Services Inc. (RSI) at a conference exhibit.

Business Development Manager Lori Lofton promised that RSI would meet and exceed our company’s requirements – and as a client since 2021, I can confirm they’ve consistently delivered on that commitment. What sets RSI apart is their comprehensive service offering and proven track record. They handle both background screenings and drug testing across all 50 states, giving us a true one-stop solution. With over 2,000 clients, they clearly know how to scale quality service.

The process is incredibly user-friendly for everyone involved. New hires can simply enter their zip code to find the nearest drug screening location, and RSI utilizes text messaging for both screening processes, creating a seamless, modern experience that candidates actually appreciate. The platform is intuitive and removes the typical friction from the screening process.

Beyond the technology, RSI maintains that friendly, casual approach that makes working with them feel like a true partnership. They proactively keep us informed about compliance updates, recommend relevant new products, and regularly check in – not in a pushy sales way, but genuinely caring about our success.

What I appreciate most about working with Lori is her consultative approach. She focuses on understanding our specific needs rather than pushing unnecessary products or services. This partnership mentality has been invaluable over our multi-year relationship.

The entire client relations team maintains excellent accessibility – whether we need support via email or phone, they’re consistently responsive and helpful.

After four years of partnership, RSI has proven to be exactly the kind of strategic partner we were looking for – handling multiple screening needs efficiently across the country with modern, user-friendly technology.
