Case Study: Zimbrick, Inc. reduces HR workload and protects employee data with Equifax's The Work Number

Outsourcing Verifications Can Help to Protect Employees and Ease HR Workload

Zimbrick, a Madison, WI car dealership with more than 1,000 employees, faced a growing burden on a three-person HR team as mortgage and other verification requests surged. Responding to frequent employment and income checks was time-consuming, caused delays for employees, and forced HR to choose between operational priorities and routine verification tasks.

Zimbrick implemented The Work Number from Equifax through its payroll provider to automate 24/7 employment and income verifications. The service sped up responses, protected employee data by requiring authorized credentials, and freed HR to focus on strategic work — a solution the company kept when switching payroll vendors and that staff describe as a clear win for both employees and the business.
