News & Updates
Every business owner and hiring manager understands that resumes present a very idealized version of an applicant’s employment history; the professional references they include will also be hand-picked individuals who are likely to offer glowing reviews of their performance. Unfortunately, many companies fear lawsuits and might not choose to share negative information that could help you make properly informed hiring decisions. But your employees are representatives of your company, and one bad hire can have a devastating impact on both your reputation and your bottom line! The good news is that our team at First Choice offers background checks to help you properly vet your job candidates, and we’ll help you find out what they don’t want you to know!
We had two separate Non-DOT donors come in and present our collector with a specimen that the temperature was out of range. Both were asked to wait in the waiting room, and both were “mouthing off” claiming they gave a good sample and that the staff was racist. A third donor waiting bought into their rhetoric and became concerned that his sample would also be rejected because of his race; he gave a good sample, and we accepted it without incident.
Random drug testing is a standard operating procedure at many companies for several great reasons. For starters, people who abuse drugs or alcohol are more likely to be involved in a workplace accident. They’re also statistically more likely to be frequently absent or tardy or even steal from the business or its customers. But no business is too small to implement a random testing program, and our team at First Choice is here to help!
