I was recently offered a job in sales and was told to expect a call from a company called Hireright...HR said this company conducts the background checks and drug tests for Cardinal. Has anyone heard of them? I mentioned this to my buddy in passing and he said this company is a nightmare to deal with. Apparently, they require credit checks, employment verification, W2's, college verification, gpa verification, the whole 9 yards. Has anyone been hired recently that can tell me what I should expect and if I should be gathering documentation now. Thank you.
 












I'm not worried about my background etc. smart ass - I wanted to give my past employers a heads up and gather proper documentation however, if it's not needed I won't waste my time. Thanks for wasting yours though.

Yes, for me they were thorough, too. No GPA questions, however. Many companies now do credit checks--and so does Cardinal via Hire right. They will also scrutinize your driving record, do a drug test, verify you went to college, and verify employment history. It was a long process for me. Good Luck.
 












I went through last year. Very easy as long as you are OK. Many states do not allow credit check for employment. Most employers just verify employment because of legality. It did take about 3 weeks with many calls from Hireright.
 






Expext a hair sample drug test. They will require (3) cuts of hair from different parts of your head. I was not required to provide W-2's, but that was 7 months ago.
Good luck.

You felt violated? Really? Since when is it a violation to drug test you? Urine samples are easy to beat for anyone who knows how to beat a drug test. If the company wants to make sure their investment (YOU) is not using illegal drugs, they can. And if they needed to clip your pubic hair they will. The only reason they would not be able to cut hair is for religious reasons and you have to prove it.
 






Regarding the hair testing for new hires:

Do you have knowledge as to whether this is company wide and in every district? Specifically in nuclear. Will they inform you ahead of the pre-hire screening whether it is a hair or urine test? Thank you.
 
























I was recently offered a job as well, it's a good job and in my field but I'm not to pleased this company used hireright for this, seems a bit extensive, I went through the background check and I am no Jesus lol, however they wanted everything from h.s. 7 years of work history sure they ran a credit check which I have bad credit duh why ya think I want a better job, then did the drug screening, I took one at home and passed so I should be good there, but reading these reviews if it fails I want a second one through them as well as a company rep to go to the hospital with me for another to compare, I think this background check company could be screwing companies out of potential great employees

Obviously you are not Jesus. I wonder if you managed to finish any schooling based on your message. The fact you are taking multiple drug test leaves me to wonder at your ability to actually function. Just what we need...another stoner who thinks no one notices they are stoned. Hope Hireright figures you out and saves CAH the expense of firing you. But, I doubt you will show up anyway and in the end, fire yourself.
