Know what is in the file room before someone else asks.

Restructures, diligence, and audit letters do not wait for you to “get organized.” The Cleanup Sprint gives you an inventory, a gap log, and a hire process that stops the bleed.

I-9 debt hides until the worst possible week.

Remote hires were “handled on Zoom.” Sections incomplete, documents never copied, reverifications missed.

E-Verify is enrolled but unused—or used inconsistently. Office managers rotate; the process does not survive the rotation.

Terminated employee files are a black hole. Retention rules are unclear; boxes and Drive folders disagree.

Time-boxed. Written. Actionable.

Inventory

Active employee I-9 sweep (terminated files if scoped). Count, location, completeness flags—no guessing from memory.

Gap log

Ranked list of missing sections, late completions, document issues, and E-Verify mismatches. Severity so leadership can prioritize.

Remediation + process

Plan you can execute or have us support. New-hire checklist and ownership map so the next start date does not recreate the mess.

Also included

E-Verify process check against how you actually hire (in-office, hybrid, remote). Written summary suitable for leadership or counsel.

Out of scope unless added

Legal opinions on liability, full immigration strategy, and representing you in government investigations—those belong with counsel.

What triggers a sprint.

Scenario

Buyer diligence asks for employment eligibility files

You have two weeks. Sprint inventories reality, produces a gap log, and gives counsel something honest to work from.

Scenario

Post-RIF, you realize half the remaining staff were never reverified

Cleanup Sprint + light process install before the next wave of hires or the next claim fight.
