Pre-Employment Drug Testing is Important

Drug testing is an extremely popular process in the business world. Many businesses practice drug screening techniques in order to prevent drug abuse from occurring in the workplace. This can help to avoid possible accident, injuries, and errors while on the job. If you own a business, you can benefit from this screening process.

It’s important to have a plan and policies in place before beginning testing. It’s possible to require a drug screening process in order to offer employment to a potential employee. This practice has been ruled legal and constitutional continuously over the years. In order to practice these techniques, you will need to have a policy written out regarding your testing procedures.

How does pre-employment drug screening work? 
First, contact an authorized vendor to order and schedule the test.  You will be given a form for the applicant to bring to the nearest testing center and they must bring a photo ID.  Applicants will show up at a testing site and give a urine sample. In many cases, negative results can be determined within 24 hours.

These tests take into consideration many different drugs depending on the test you order. Most five-panel drug screenings test for Marijuana, Cocaine, PCP, Opiates, and Amphetamines usage. Employers also have the opportunity to use a ten-panel test in order to test certain prescription drug use. These tests are able to detect drugs that are present in an individual’s system for certain periods of times. Many drugs are able to be detected if use has occurred within 2-4 days. Other drugs are able to be detected if drug use has occurred within 30 days, such as marijuana.

It’s a good idea to make applicants test within a given time period. This will not allow applicants to stop their drug use in order to illegally pass the urine test. Most drug testing laboratory centers can detect if a test has been altered to force favorable results.

Everything You Need to Know About Backround Checks

Reasons to use Pre-Employment Skills Assessment Testing

As a business owner, I don't have to 'preach to the choir' regarding the cost of a bad hire and how terrible they are for business!  One bad apple can literally ruin a business so hiring the perfect candidate can be detrimental to a small business' success.  The ability to hire skilled professionals is the key to success for business owners around the world.  One affordable and efficient way for job candidates to prove their expertise is to perform pre-employment skills assessment tests.    

 
Skills testing focuses on skills that relate directly to job performance.  The greatest thing about skills testing is that you can cater them to the job you are hiring for. Let’s say you’re hiring a call center CSR. Instead of spending 45 minutes asking a candidate about his or her past performance; give the candidate the Call Center Assessment to measure customer service skills and sales ability using realistic simulations of call center scenarios. The test is more objective than an interview.

There is more to pre-employment testing than just skills, it is also finding out about your job candidate’s personality.  Hireology states in a recent blog post that “personality tests are a great tool for understanding people and improving management,” and they “can be extremely valuable when trying to understand the motivations and work styles of your new employees.”  So instead of taking two months to “get to know your employee,” and learn how they react to management, give them a 15 minute behavioral skills test and you will have your answer immediately.   

Online Dating & Background Checks

Online dating is the latest of dating trends and can be a great way to meet people... but you never really know who you’re meeting - without performing a background check first. 

Meeting someone in person that you initially met online can be scary because most dating websites do not run background checks on their members but that is slowly changing after one woman was sexually assaulted by a man she met on Match.com and sued the company.  

However, it is still not  foolproof or a comprehensive security measure, even if they do!  Things can always slip through the cracks and people are con-artists.  Additionally, sex offenses are not the only crimes one can commit...just because someone does not appear on the sex offender registry does not mean they are not a criminal.  People can be batterers, thieves, or even already married, which opens up a completely different can of worms.

No system is completely foolproof, and it may not even be possible for every dating website to find out every little thing that may be unfavorable about all of its members.  So, it doesn’t hurt, if you have any suspicion about the person you are meeting, or even if you don’t, to take your safety into your own hands and run a national background check.

Ten Background Check Facts that all Employers Should Know

• 90% of American corporations perform background checks-  with such a substantial number ensuring they’re getting employees they feel are truly valuable, do you really want to be part of the 10% that don’t? 
• 10% of all background checks have at least one serious red flag- 1 in 10 is quite a high number when you consider the number of background checks performed, and a serious red flag is not something you can simply shake off. 
• 53% of all job applications contain inaccurate information. Consider the number of applicants you had for your last open position. More than half of them lied on their application. Don’t you wish you knew who had been telling the truth?  
• Workplace violence accounts for 18% of all violent crime. Background checks can help you screen out those with a violent history during the application process. 
• Employers have lost more than 78% of negligent hiring cases. Screening out bad applicants prior to hiring can save you a lot in the long term, and with the odds against you in the courts, it’s better to be safe than sorry. 
• 30% of all business failures are caused by employee theft.  That’s almost 1 in 3 failed businesses that may have been saved had employment screening occurred.  Performing background checks will help to ensure those you employ won’t steal from you. 
• Workplace drug and alcohol use costs U.S. businesses an estimated $100 billion each year. Make drug testing a key part of your background check process, to make sure those you are employing do not have an alcohol or drug problem.

Benefits of Employment Background Screening

Why do employers conduct background checks? Is it simply to verify a job candidate’s qualifications, or are there additional benefits? The 2012 HireRight Employment Screening Benchmarking Report reveals the top four benefits employers realize by conducting background screening and how it adds value to their organization.

1. Improved quality of hire
Sixty-seven percent of survey respondents said that the quality of their hires improved due to background screening. Background checks help uncover false information on resumes, where 70 percent of respondents have reported finding an inaccuracy. In addition, respondents are finding misrepresentations more than once, where 74 percent of respondents cited that they find misrepresented information up to 10 percent of the time. In another recent study, the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) found that job seekers who had committed negative acts in the past were the most likely to have falsified resumes.

If an applicant misrepresents their employment history, education, certifications, criminal history or employment eligibility, not only could it result in a poor hire, it could also potentially result in financial, legal and regulatory risks for the hiring organization. A background screening program can help uncover false or misrepresented information early on and prevent future risks and elevated hiring costs. 

2. Reduced negligent hiring risks
Twenty-nine percent of survey respondents said that background screening helped to mitigate negligent hiring risks. Negligent hiring claims may arise, for example, when a worker causes harm to a co-worker or third party within the scope of their job and the victim claims that the worker had a record of or propensity for causing this type of harm that the employer should have discovered if it had conducted its “due diligence”. If this allegation is proven, then the employer may be liable for negligent hiring damages. 

How We Help NC Small Businesses!

1. Costs
Background screening used to involve a steep investment in systems and personnel that only mid-sized and larger organizations could afford.  Now with easy to implement and affordable on-demand screening solutions, more small businesses are able to manage their background screening programs effectively. However, small businesses that elect to conduct background checks in-house may be left with a process that is labor intensive and more costly to perform.
 
2. Timeliness
Small businesses are getting timely results and reducing time-to-hire. An on-demand screening solution streamlines what was once a manual and disjointed process, thereby greatly reducing the turnaround time for receiving background screening results.
In a competitive hiring environment, those businesses with the quickest screening results and time-to-hire will often win the best candidates. Employers that attempt to conduct background screening in-house may fail to achieve the rapid turnaround times that on-demand background screening providers can provide.
 
3. Compliance
Compliance with regulations at the state and federal levels topped the lists of business challenges and screening-specific challenges that small businesses face.  Partnering with onAco can add value by providing access to compliance information and resources as well as tools integrated into the screening solution that can help to facilitate the organization’s compliance. Employers that choose to conduct background checks internally must continually ensure that their own processes and policies are compliant with evolving legislation and regulation.

Why Use a Background Check Service?

Whether you need to screen an employee, perform a tenant credit check or make sure that the person you have met online is safe to get to know better, background check services can save you time and money. They can also help protect your business interests. For example, it's a good idea to learn about your investment broker before giving him money and access to your accounts. Similarly, it's wise to check up on potential business partners before putting agreements in ink.

4 Tips for Hiring Background Check Companies!

One of your jobs as a business owner is to find and select the best candidates for various positions that you need to fill. Your skill sets as a business owner, however, may limit you from knowing the ins and outs of employee background checks and how information gathered from these screenings may affect your role as an employer. Background check companies are one of the partners you should rely on to get the job done right.

Why should you contract with background check companies to find out the credit and criminal history of your candidates? You might find that taking on this task yourself is an inefficient use of your time and energy. A good third-party screening company will deliver quick, accurate, and comprehensive reports using sound legal practices to lower your risk and ensure you hire the right person the first time. Such companies also save you the time you might spend learning the many complicated state and federal laws governing the information you have a right to see.
