At the touch of a button, rideshare companies make it possible for consumers to easily get from point A to point B—wherever they are. This technology, which directly connects riders to drivers, has upended the Transportation industry and the way people travel forever. Leading rideshare trailblazers are setting the safety standard for the entire industry by creating dedicated safety platforms with pre-hire checks as well as continuous criminal record checks. In partnership with First Advantage, safety-focused rideshare leaders go the extra mile with continuous criminal records monitoring as a core component of their screening platforms. Drivers are not only pre-hire screened, but they are also continuously monitored for reportable criminal records activities with near-real-time reporting.

A leading pharmacy and retail chain looked to First Advantage, its partner of more than 15 years, for assistance supporting its corporate mission of streamlining internal processes while minimizing spend. They selected instant oral fluid drug screening technology for its ability to provide quicker, more affordable results than traditional lab-based testing.

The First Advantage Strategic Consulting Team used aggregate customer data to identify several interesting drug screening trends resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Does pre-employment drug screening serve as a deterrent for drug use and set expectations that employees should be able to pass a drug test if needed? The data seems to say yes.
