• Why Employment Screening?

    A seemingly little white lie can turn out to be a huge liability for employers. Pre-employment screening and background checks reduce your legal liability for negligent hiring and help ensure a safe environment for both your employees and clients.

  • How Our Employment Screening Process Works

    We perform the following screening and evaluation process on all candidates we recommend to work within your company or organization:

    1. Pre-employment Interview
    One of our trained hiring specialists conducts pre-employment interviews to discuss career goals of potential candidates and evaluate appropriate placement opportunities.

    2. Pre-employment Drug Screening
    We conduct all required pre-hire drug screenings to ensure candidates meet local, state, and federal regulations, as well as requirements specific to your organization.

    3. Background Check
    We then perform a state and national background, social security number trace, and national sex offender search to determine whether candidates could pose an unreasonable risk to your business, your current employees, or your customers and guests.

    4. Additional Screening
    In addition to pre-employment screening, we can conduct random, reasonable suspicion, and post-accident drug testing for candidates while on assignment with our clients.

    5. Computer Skills Assessment
    If the positions you’re hiring for require varying levels of computer proficiency, we can conduct computer skills assessments for all potential candidates.

    6. Employment Eligibility
    Last, we use E-Verify, an internet-based system that compares information from employees’ Form I-9 to data from U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration records to confirm employment eligibility.
