OMG! Where do I even start?

RSI has helped with our background checks, greatly! Whenever we have a question on background checks they are always there to help through. I enjoy how they email but also send over PDF files on how-to-do. This is a helpful tool for the future. 

I want to send a special shoutout to Brooke, Amanda & Heather. They are always answering my emails within 24 hours with helpful information and a positive attitude. I can be very…technology needy, lol, and they are always super helpful!

The customer service at RSI is top notch! Someone (yes, a real person) always answers the phone, and we never get a recording or put on long holds. If they cannot answer our question, they get us to someone who can and without delay. They are consistently kind, knowledgeable and reliable. We will never use another reference service provider for our staffing agency, and we have recommended them to many of our clients. Thank you, RSI, for being there for us! You are a crucial part of the success of our company running smoothly!
