Pre-Employment Drug Tests
Multiple Testing Options For Potential Employees
About Pre-Employment Drug Tests
Pre-employment drug tests are drug tests given to job candidates after a job offer is extended but before they start their first day of work. Employment may be conditional on passing the pre-employment drug test.
There isn’t a special type of drug test that’s reserved for pre-employment. Employers can use hair drug tests, urine drug tests, saliva drug tests, or other drug tests for their pre-employment drug screenings*. Some tests, like recent-use oral fluid drug screens, can be used to differentiate between recent substance use (within a few hours or days) and prior substance use (days, weeks, or months earlier).
*Not every service offered is appropriate for use by all employers in every state. Always consult your legal or human resources advisors to determine which services are appropriate for your specific circumstances.
The Right Pre-Employment Drug Test for Your Workforce
If you’ve decided to require potential employees to pass a pre-employment drug test before they start work, you’ll need to decide what substances you want to test for and what type of drug test you want employees to take. Some employers only want their pre-employment drug tests to screen for one specific substance and/or recent substance use only, while others want to be able to screen for all substances and for as far back as possible.
