PRE-EMPLOYMENT SCREENING 

Pre-employment screening is the process employers use to verify the qualifications, background, and suitability of job candidates before offering them employment. It typically involves a series of checks and assessments designed to ensure that a candidate is trustworthy, qualified, and a good fit for the company’s work environment. The goal is to reduce hiring risks, enhance workplace safety, and ensure compliance with legal and industry regulations.

Our workforce management team process includes the following elements of pre-employment screening:

Background Checks: This includes verifying the candidate’s criminal history, work history, and educational qualifications. It helps ensure that the candidate has been truthful about their past and that they don’t pose a security risk.

Drug and Alcohol Testing: Employers may require candidates to undergo drug or alcohol testing to ensure they are fit for work and not impaired, especially for safety-sensitive positions like those in transportation or healthcare.

Employment Verification: Employers often confirm past employment, job titles, and dates of employment, to ensure that the candidate has the qualifications they claim.

Reference Checks: Employers typically contact references provided by the candidate to verify character, work ethic, and other aspects of the candidate's past job performance. 

Smith's Reliable Screening Solutions is your stop for all pre-employment needs. Our workforce management team gets everything done in a timely matter to help ease the stress of the hiring process 

Pre-employment screening helps employers make informed decisions, promote a safe and productive workplace, and comply with legal requirements. It's important that employers get consent from candidates before conducting screenings and follow legal guidelines, such as those outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and Equal Employment Opportunity laws. 

TPA CONSORTIUM

Smith's Reliable Screening Solution is A TPA Consortium with the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) This refers to a group of Third-Party Administrators (TPAs) that work together to manage drug and alcohol testing programs for commercial motor carriers in compliance with FMCSA regulations. The FMCSA, a division of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), enforces safety regulations for commercial vehicles, including those related to drug and alcohol testing for drivers of these vehicles.

In the context of FMCSA regulations, a TPA Consortium typically helps carriers (trucking companies, freight forwarders, etc.) comply with federal drug and alcohol testing requirements by offering services such as

Random Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs – Coordinating and administering random drug and alcohol tests for drivers to meet FMCSA’s random testing mandates

Pre-Employment and Post-Accident Testing – Ensuring compliance with required pre-employment drug tests and post-accident testing following certain accidents

Annual Reports and Record Keeping – Maintaining accurate records and submitting required reports to the FMCSA

Regulatory Compliance and Training – Offering guidance and ensuring that testing protocols are in line with FMCSA regulations (e.g., which substances to test for and how to handle positive results)

Test Scheduling and Coordination – Managing the logistics of scheduling tests for employees, including keeping track of when drivers need to be tested and ensuring they are tested at certified facilities.

By joining Smith's Reliable Screening Solutions TPA consortium, smaller carriers or those with fewer drivers can benefit from shared resources and reduce costs associated with managing their own drug and alcohol testing programs. The consortium handles the complexities of testing requirements, reporting, and compliance, allowing carriers to focus on their primary business operations while ensuring they meet FMCSA standards.

In essence, the TPA consortium serves as a way for companies to pool their resources and manage the mandatory FMCSA testing requirements effectively and cost-efficiently.
