Retail Sector Coverage
The retail industry is diverse and encompasses a variety of sub-sectors, each requiring a specific approach to staffing and management:
- Department Stores: Large-scale operations with a need for a wide array of staff roles, from sales to security.

Our Specialized Screening Services for the Retail Industry
In retail, where staff directly interact with customers and handle sensitive transactions, the importance of a thorough screening process cannot be overstated. DISA provides essential screening services tailored to meet the specific needs of the retail industry:
Criminal Background Checks
We conduct detailed background checks to help you identify potential hires with criminal histories that may deem them unsuitable for roles in retail settings, ensuring a safe environment for both your staff and customers.
Motor Vehicle Records (MVR) Checks
For roles that include delivery or any form of transportation on behalf of the company, our MVR checks ensure that your employees are responsible and have a clean driving record.
Sex Offender Registry Checks
Protect your brand and ensure safety in the workplace with comprehensive checks against national sex offender registries, an essential step for positions that involve interaction with families and children.
Drug and Alcohol Testing
Recognizing the critical need for a drug-free workplace in the retail sector, we offer thorough drug and alcohol testing services. This ensures that your staff can safely and effectively interact with customers and handle products, maintaining the integrity and safety of your workplace.
Our Goal
Our goal is to streamline your hiring process, making it as efficient and effective as possible. By entrusting us with your employment screening needs, you gain a partner that is as dedicated to protecting and enhancing your retail business as you are.
According to Quest Diagnostics, among key industries, retail trade had the second-highest overall rate of positive drug tests in 2023, at 7%.

The retail industry also led all industries in opioid positivity.
Key Features Our Clients Love
- Branded Email Communication: We can brand the email links sent to applicants with your company's logo. This ensures consistency throughout the hiring process and reinforces your brand at every stage of the application, creating a more seamless experience for applicants.
- Multi-Channel Notifications: Notifications are sent to applicants via company-branded emails and text messages. This dual-channel approach generally leads to quicker responses and smoother onboarding, as many applicants find it more convenient to receive notifications on their phones rather than through email alone.
- Automated Reminder Notifications: If applicants do not respond to the initial message, reminder notifications can be automatically sent every day for up to 5 additional days. These reminders, sent via both email and text, ensure that applicants stay engaged and complete the necessary steps promptly.
These features are just a few of the ways we help simplify and enhance the hiring process for our retail clients. By prioritizing efficiency and branding, we enable you to focus on building your team while we handle the logistics of communication and engagement.
