Companies of every industry can agree that the best employees will produce the best results, from finding smart minds and eager dispositions, to hiring personnel that reflect your core values as a business. Part of that vetting process happens in the interview room, on the phone with past employers, and of course through background screening. But the other element of that inspection process is a drug test, which establishes that a new employee is fit to do the duties asked of them. Across the country, drug screeners ensure that employees are operating at peak condition, a process which the experts at 3rd Degree Screening Inc. are all too familiar with. Recently the Iowa-based background check professionals teamed up with some well-known collection sites. Quest Diagnostics, eScreen, Lab Corp, Concentra, and Omega Laboratories have partnered with 3rd Degree – effectively establishing a formidable force.

Background checks are an integral part of the hiring process in today's market, with employers of all industries utilizing them to properly vet their applicants. The catch is, prospective employees almost never see the results of the background check. Key elements from their past they need rectify can go unrecognized, and hamper their chances at employment. Fortunately, a timely, effective solution exists in the brand new launching of a trusted background check website: Facts on Me. The service was recently launched by 3rd Degree Screening, a household name in the background check market. It is sure to help consumers in their job hunting efforts for years to come.

Hiring new personnel to a company is a complex process that requires an honest appraisal of candidates and evaluation of which applicant best serves the needs of the company. Important positions require extra review from multiple team members, further confounding the methodology. Fortunately, Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) have streamlined hiring processes like never before, and companies such as 3rd Degree Screening have been helping companies link up with the right ATS for their needs. Most recently their relationship with the YMCA of the Greater Omaha Area was strengthened when the organization agreed to utilize 3rd Degree's technology and integrate with the ATS iCims. The partnership is a win-win for both parties, and spells good news for the future.

In the age of the internet and the rapid mobilization of technology, there are so many threats to a company's security. Some of the most dangerous dangers can come from within, however, from the dissemination of information, classified data, and vital information. One of the best ways to prevent against these kinds of crimes and problems is in the interview process itself. Background checks have quickly become a prominent part of the evaluation process, oftentimes an essential element in the hiring practice that weeds out unsavory applicants. 3rd Degree Screening Inc. is one of the quintessential companies providing this invaluable service to businesses across the country, and their ranks recently improved. Two of their employees, Jimmy Waters and Jennell Manion recently took the next step in the evolution of their abilities by receiving the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) Advanced Certification from the National Association of Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS).
