INTEGRITY TESTING FOR STAFFING

Yes. IntegrityFirst is EEOC-compliant, meets the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures including the 4/5ths rule, and is validated by industrial and organizational psychologists. It produces no adverse impact on protected classes. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management recognizes integrity and honesty tests as a legitimate, established assessment method in personnel selection. It is not a polygraph — written pre-employment assessments are distinct from lie-detector tools prohibited under the federal EPPA. Note that in staffing arrangements, both the agency and the client may share responsibility for lawful use.

Background checks are reactive — they reveal past records such as criminal history or employment verification. IntegrityFirst is proactive: it screens for the behavioral tendencies most likely to result in absenteeism, client-site misconduct, theft, and WC fraud before a placement is made. Used at the start of the funnel, it also reduces how many candidates require costlier background checks or drug tests — improving speed-to-placement and lowering per-hire screening costs.

IntegrityFirst is most effective for high-volume, frontline placements where reliability, honesty, and safety are material risks — including light industrial, warehouse, logistics, retail, hospitality, healthcare support, call center, customer-facing, cash-handling, and security-sensitive roles. It is particularly valuable for same-day and temp-to-perm placements where interview time is limited.

Yes. Staffing agencies that implement validated behavioral screening gain a measurable competitive advantage: fewer placement failures, lower client-site WC claims, and stronger retention rates. These outcomes can be quantified and presented in client RFPs and renewals. Several agencies use IntegrityFirst as an explicit selling point — positioning themselves as a higher-quality placement partner.

No assessment can guarantee prevention. IntegrityFirst identifies risk indicators and improves consistency in hiring decisions. It works best as one layer within a broader risk-control system that also includes background checks, structured interviews, supervision, training, and compliance monitoring.

The assessment takes under 10 minutes and is available in English, Spanish, and 27 additional languages. It is fully mobile-friendly — accessible for the multilingual caregiver workforce typical in senior living.

Results are delivered instantly — the moment a candidate completes the 8-minute assessment. IntegrityFirst integrates with any ATS, VMS, or staffing platform and is fully mobile-friendly, so candidates can complete it from any device at any stage of the funnel. Most agencies are fully live within days, with no IT project required.
