Background Check: How long does it take for the background check to clear?
It depends on how many places you have lived & worked, and how quickly we receive a response from your professional references and educational institutions. We will check in often and let you know if there is anything needed from you directly to expedite this process.
Background Check: Do I have to do anything to complete the background check?
Yes, the recruiter will initiate the background check through our third-party vendor Accurate Background Screening. You will receive an email from Accurate to begin the process. Please complete this process as soon as you receive the email to avoid any delays in your start date.
Physical Evaluation: How do I prepare for my physical?
This appointment will include a drug screen (if your job requires one), TB skin test, immunization screening and physical exam to confirm that you meet the physical requirements of the position. Please remember to hydrate in preparation for a urine drug screen and potential lab draws.
Physical Evaluation: If I haven’t had a TB test or Flu shot, do I need to get one before the physical appointment?
No, these will be administered at the time of your Day 1 – pre-employment health screening appointment. Although, if you’ve had a flu shot this season, or a TB test within the last 12 months, please bring the documentation along with you. All employees are required to complete a two-step TB test. The 2nd TB test must be done within 1 week from the first TB reading.
