DRUG SCREENING

EMPLOYMENT SCREENING + BACKGROUND CHECKS

Make Employment Screening
a Routine Part of Every Hiring Practice

It is commonly held that most job applicants stretch the truth on their applications but you might be surprised to find HR managers reporting that as many as 1 in 4 job applicants flat out lie on thier resume. Combine that with the results of a 2008 Department of Labor report showing as many as 17% of food service workers and 15% of construction workers have used illicit drugs in the past month and you begin to worry about the quality of today's workforce.

In today's litigious and increasingly competitive environment, employment screening has become more than just a means to ensure candidates are truthful. Increasingly, applicant drug testing, background verification and the random rescreening of current employees is becoming a necessity for employers who wish to appropriately protect their assets.

Already an estimated 80% of employers are performing some type of background check on prospective employees while nearly 60% of HR managers report rescreening current employees. HR screening for our financial services industry clients reveals unsavory results in almost 20% of applicants.

If you've been told that background checks and drug tests are not affordable or had concerns about your legal rights as an employer to request that kind of information from existing employees, it is time that you learned more about how METSCheck can help protect your most valuable assets: your business, your employees, your customers and your reputation.
