I am in final negotiations with a MSP Company based in Callifonia. During my interview they told me that they run background checks on all employees and require all new hires to submit to a drug test, fingerprinting and also require a basic credit report to be pulled. I don't have a problem with the Drug Screening, Background Check and fingerprinting as my current Job required it as well. Neither of these companies work with financial or government entities but this new job does work with with allot of schools and colleges.
I have never really had an issue with any pre-screening a company wants to do before bringing on new employee, I did however have an issue with them running a Credit Check as I did not see the point. I won't get into their explanation but I do understand their point for wanting to do it. This company does give you the option to decline any of the required pre-screening, but will not hire you if you do not take a drug Test and get finger printed.
