Background and Drug Screening

Background Screening

Companies often say that their employees are their most important asset. Likewise, performing a background screening of prospective employees is the most important step in evaluating potential employees. Background screening can reveal criminal arrests and convictions, verify employment and education history and reduce the risk involved in making a bad hiring decision.

The Emarico/ESS Advantage

Experience – Background screening is a research-intensive process and requires a working knowledge of the numerous courts, as well as the variance in terms used in different jurisdictions and the types of information available.
