The nature of the American workplace is continually changing, and this is truer than ever in our post Covid world. There is now so much more emphasis on safety and procedural safeguards to protect employees and customers alike, and our success depends on having a good staff to carry out the new procedures. The stakes are so much higher now, and the last thing you want to do is to make the wrong hiring decision. That’s where we come in!
At First Choice, we offer almost every conceivable check; employment credit check, employment and education verification, workers comp check, OIG (Office of Inspector General) checks, DOT checks, and more. All of our testing is done in a clean and safe environment by professional technicians, and we guarantee that you will receive quick and accurate results right away.
We had a CDL driver come in for a pre-employment DOT drug test recently. We were quite busy and were not able to attend to this donor for a few minutes as we were helping other clients. The donor, a transgender man, seemed to have anxiety and he could sense we were not going to get him to the collection area right away, so he asked to use the bathroom indicating he could no longer “hold it” – you might say he was doing the pee-pee dance!
At First Choice, we have a deep commitment to helping companies protect themselves from making bad hiring decisions. If an individual chooses to use recreational drugs, it doesn’t necessarily make them a bad person. But as an employer, you can’t ignore the fact that people who abuse drugs and alcohol are far more likely to be involved in a workplace accident and expose you to worker’s comp claims, wasted company time, and other more serious problems. You’re not making a value judgment, but a business decision that is standard for many companies.
