It’s important to hire quality employees if you want to run a quality business, but many employers are forced to base their hiring decisions on incomplete information. Your applicants are only going to give you the names of people who will give them good references, and their previous employers will often only verify employment when you call for more information. Many of the resumes that you see have large gaps or paint an inaccurate picture of the applicant’s actual responsibilities. Even the most seasoned human resources professionals make mistakes when they’re vetting candidates, and you can’t afford to take chances when you’re adding to your team.

Pre-employment drug screening is a good way to ensure that you’re hiring drug-free employees, and companies have a fiduciary duty to protect their assets. Managers and business owners need to keep their employees honest, and a random drug testing program is a good way to keep illegal drugs out of the workplace. You have a big responsibility to your company’s stakeholders, and you want to make sure that your testing procedures are clear and consistently followed. You also have to ensure that each employee has an equal and independent chance to be selected for testing in a completely unbiased and nondiscriminatory manner.
