Background Check Basics
Smart organizations know their people are their most valuable business asset. Each new hire requires an investment of time, training, money, and resources. Even the best interviewing skills cannot detect every risky candidate or ensure the best applicant is selected. How can a hiring manager know the person they hired is the right fit?
Conducting comprehensive background checks on all potential hires can identify red flags in an applicant’s past and is the best way to ensure your business is making informed hiring decisions. Your human capital is often your largest organizational investment, and just like any other financial investment, it is crucial to perform proper due diligence prior to making decisions with direct impact on your company’s bottom line.
At AccuSourceHR, we understand one size programs and services do not fit all companies, even within the same industry. That's why we offer extensive flexibility in program design, business rules, and account structure to match your exact needs. With our technology, you get fast, accurate, actionable, and compliant reports. Plus, our US-based staff quickly responds to support requests from clients and candidates alike to ensure timely processing and optimal overall experience—so you always have someone to turn to if you have a question about a report.

-
Oral Saliva Test
The donor provides a specimen of their saliva (normally in full view of the collector), and the specimen is then shipped to one of AccuSourceHR’s laboratory partners for processing. Results are available, on average, in 24 to 48 hours. Medical Review Officer support is available for lab-confirmed positive results. All shipping and specimen collection materials are provided.
-
Occupational Medical
Whether your company needs flu vaccinations and fitness for duty exams or immunizations to meet compliance requirements for medical staff, AccuSourceHR has you covered. We partner with over 5,000 clinics nationwide, providing single source ordering and results retrieval for all occupational health needs.

24/7 Reasonable Suspicion & Post-Accident Testing
Challenges occur in the workplace when they are least expected. AccuSourceHR can assist employers with after-hours drug and alcohol screening services. When travel to a clinic is not an option, mobile onsite collection services are also available in most geographic locations. After-hours staff is trained in both DOT and non-DOT collection processes.
-
Medical Review Officer (MRO)
In compliance with Department of Transportation (DOT) CFR 49 Part 40 guidelines, all drug and alcohol screening results are reviewed by a Medical Review Officer (MRO). The MRO reviews the completed result report and contacts the donor, if needed, to evaluate a positive finding for tested substances of abuse and determine if there is a legitimate medical explanation for the test results. Once the result has a verified disposition, is reported to the employer for appropriate action. MRO services are available for non-regulated testing upon employer request.
