DOT Compliance - We Automate That Too

DOT by Hyrell

At Hyrell, we are always trying to push hiring and recruiting automation to new levels. Since 2007, we’ve been hard at work tackling all of your hiring headaches (both big and small):

Automating applicant evaluation? Check.

Simplifying reference Checks? Double check.

Finding new ways to streamline the interview scheduling process? Triple check.

But we weren’t done yet. We wanted to take on a bigger challenge. Which is why Team Hyrell is proud to announce the latest advancement to our Online Hiring and Recruiting Software: DOT by Hyrell.  DOT by Hyrell is a Department of Transportation (DOT) Compliance Management integration within your Hiring System.

Many industries require DOT compliance, and these hiring managers know how complicated and painstaking the process can be. As with any highly regulated process, there are countless forms and due diligence checks that must be done on a regular basis in order to maintain compliance. Until now, this process was entirely manual, and (in our opinion) entirely too time consuming.

That’s why Hyrell’s approach is different. Our Department of Transportation Module enables HR and safety managers to collect all DOT-required commercial driver information right at the start of the online application process. You no longer need to waste time and energy on paper-based filing systems. Once the applicant has completed the online job application, the hiring official can access and review the applicant’s DOT information with just a click of a button. Hyrell’s DOT Module automatically creates an electronic FMCSR-mandated Driver Qualification File for each driver, and authorized users can perform ongoing file maintenance right from the online hiring center.

When you activate Hyrell’s DOT module, you can quickly and easily organize: 

  • Driver Qualification Records
  • Previous Employer Forms
  • Initial Inquiry to State Agency for Driver’s Record Forms
  • Annual Inquiry to State Agency for Drivers
  • Annual Review of Driving Record Forms
  • Driver’s Certification of Violations Forms
  • Certification of Road Tests or current copy of CDLs
  • Medical Examination Reports
  • Medical Examiner’s Certificates
  • Multiple-Employers Driver’s Prior 7-Day Logs
  • And Other Miscellaneous Documents
All of this information is stored in the cloud, easily accessible at a moment’s notice. Anyplace. Anytime. So if Hyrell’s DOT Module seems like a good fit for you and your organization, please contact us today to request a demonstration.
