Backgrounds Online Has Now Added DOT Drug Screening to Their Suite of Services to Become Your One-Stop Shop for Background Checks and Drug Screening Needs

CFCA recently sat down with our partners at Backgrounds Online Business Development Director, Seth Atchue, to discuss the importance of background checks and, what sets them apart from other providers. We also got a special announcement that they are now offering a new service, vital for anyone with professional drivers: DOT drug screening and pre-employment physicals.

Q: Why even perform background checks?

A: The benefits of comprehensive employment background screening include: increased applicant and new hire quality, reduced workplace violence, reduced negligent hiring liability, reduced losses from employee dishonesty, making the right hire the first time, and avoiding negative publicity. The bottom line is that pre-employment background checks help an organization be more successful.

 

Q: How do I perform a background check?

A: Through Backgrounds Online, it is as easy as having your applicant or employee complete the background check through our applicant self-submittal process. Our technology streamlines the experience and provides a compliant and transparent process.

 

Q: Do you provide everything I’ll need for a background check?

A: Yes. We provide all the authorization and disclosure forms required by the FCRA.

 

Q: What information can I get through a background check?

A: We offer customizable screening packages that include the most commonly used searches for any specific position. A background check can provide: identity verification, criminal records, motor vehicle records, employment verification, education verification, credential verification, references, civil court records, credit reports, FACIS, drug screening, and other useful data to make an informed hiring decision.

 

Q: Thanks, Seth, now what can you tell me about this new service Backgrounds Online is providing?

A: Well, we are very excited to announce that Backgrounds Online will now be offering DOT required drug testing and pre-employment physicals. Every company regulated by the Department of Transportation needs to run these drug screenings to remain compliant. It prevents safety problems and pinpoints the right new hire. By using industry-specific background checks, you know whether a potential driver can safely and legally drive for you. We understand that time is of the essence when hiring drivers, so we have created a streamlined process that makes it easy to get the tests you needs and ensures that you receive your results as quickly and conveniently as possible. We offer random testing and have a network of 6000+ testing sights to save you time and money.
