WorkWhile Background Check and Drug Screening
As part of our commitment to safety and compliance, all new workers must successfully pass a background check before they can begin working.
We have partnered with Yardstik, a leading provider of background screening solutions, to conduct this process.
How It Works: Background Check and Drug Screening
Initiation: Once you complete the necessary steps in your application, we will initiate your background check with Yardstik. You will receive an email from Yardstik with a link to a secure portal.
Information Submission: You will provide your personal information and consent for the background check and drug screening.
Screening: Yardstik's system will then perform a comprehensive search, which may include:
National and county criminal record searches.
National Sex Offender Registry.
Global Watch Lists and SSN Trace.
Federal criminal record search.
Motor vehicle/driving record information.
Other screenings as required by the role.
Drug Screening: Certain positions may necessitate a drug screening. This test could require a visit to a nearby clinic or may be conducted on-site.
Checking the Status of Your Background Check
We understand you're eager to get started. You can check the real-time status of your background check directly through Yardstik's secure candidate portal.
Yardstik Candidate Portal: Visit profile.yardstik.com and log in using the email address you provided for your application. From there, you can view the current status of your report and see if any additional information is needed.
Background Check Turnaround Times
The majority of background checks and drug screens are completed within 3-5 business days.
However, the timeline can vary depending on several factors, including:
County courthouse delays: Some counties require manual searches, which can add to the processing time.
Information discrepancies: If the information you provided is incomplete or inaccurate, Yardstik may need to request additional details from you, which can cause a delay.
While most checks are completed quickly, please be patient as we cannot expedite the process.
Important Reminder
You must pass your background check and, when applicable, you drug screen before you can begin working shifts. We will notify you via email once your background check has been cleared and your account is ready to go.
If you have any questions about the background check process, the status of your report, or anything else, please contact our support team at support@workwhilejobs.com.
