Pre-Employment Test & 3 Other Methods Help You Predict if Job Applicant Is Substance Abuser

Published December 9, 2010

Many companies tell applicants they must take a drug test – if the company might hire them.

Receiving this warning scares away some applicants who are substance abusers.

4TH METHOD = ACTUALLY GIVE DRUG TESTS BEFORE HIRING

Unfortunately, problems with drug tests are very big problems: Drug tests are

– expensive

– cheated or faked – very easily

– inaccurate in their results – many times

Caution: An “underground” industry exists that helps job applicants avoid having alcohol or drug use uncovered in a drug test! So, many applicants know they can “fake-out” a drug test.

STOP HIRING SUBSTANCE ABUSERS – DRUG ABUSERS & ALCOHOLICS

Certain pre-employment personality tests plus other methods help you avoid hiring substance abusers who rob your company of productivity and profits – plus waste your valuable management time.

Stop hiring substance abusers using four methods:

1. Have applicants take pre-employment personality test that predicts substance abuse

2. Don’t hire smokers

3. ‘Threaten’ to give applicants drug test

4. Give costly drug tests just before putting applicant on your payroll

It is best for you to use all four methods. Doing all four saves you time and money.

Make sure you hire the best – and don’t hire a substance abusing alcoholic or drug addict!
