At TestCountry, we offer background screening services that are ideal for private-owned companies, non-profit organizations, publicly owned for-profit organizations, and government sectors.
The background screening services are designed to pre-screen job applicants via a comprehensive employment background screening, as well as drug screening. They include SSN trace and aliases using a nationwide criminal database, an SOR (sex offender registry) search, a watch list global criminal search that provides an instant database search on individuals involved in terrorist activities, money laundering, illegal imports, fraud against government agencies, violations of federal banking regulations and fugitives from justice. All packages can be combined with drug testing to comply with your drug-free environment policy.
The pre employment drug screening is capable of detecting usage of the most commonly abused substances like Amphetamines, Cocaine, Opiates, PCP and Marijuana. A MRO (Medical Review Officer who is a medical doctor and an expert in the substance abuse field) will review any drug screenings with positive results.
Employee Background Checks, Employee Screening, Criminal Background Check, and Drug Testing
Hiring an employee doesn't start and end with reading the person's résumé and conducting one-on-one interviews. As the workforce and the business industries become increasingly competitive, more and more employers are making employee background checks a requisite in their pre-employment procedures.
There are several good reasons why employers demand for employment screenings, such as:
- To confirm whether or not an employee matches the qualifications of the position.
- To determine potential safety risks including threats to physical safety and the security of information the employee might handle in the workplace.
- To check an employee's personality traits that may be beneficial or detrimental in the workplace.
Employee background check can be done by a screening company or by the potential employer. The types of pre employment screening that are typically conducted these days include criminal background checks, credit background checks, drug testing, character reference check, and employment history check, to name a few.
On the other hand, while employment backgrounds checks or background investigations are permitted in most states, every employer must understand that they do not have unlimited rights to explore an applicant's background and personal life. Consulting a professional corporate lawyer would help if you are not sure what type of pre employment background checks are acceptable and up to what extent you can use the results when making hiring decisions.
Generally, the amount of information enclosed on employment background checks largely depends on the sensitivity of the reason for which it is conducted. Among them include:
- Criminal, arrest, incarceration, and sex offender records
- Citizenship, immigration, or legal working status
- Driving and vehicle records
- Drug tests
- Litigation records
- Education records
- Employment records
- Financial information
- Licensing records
- Medical, Mental, and Physiological evaluation and records
- Military records
- Social Security Number
