Applicants are evaluated as either Qualified or Non-Qualified. This eliminates the need to interpret each recommendation at the individual branch hiring location. However, management can review an applicant’s detailed results including disclosures, from their secure online management console at any time.

An applicant who does not qualify for hire has either:

• Admitted to current, illegal drug use, and/or
• Disclosed theft behaviors during the past two years, and/or
• Exhibited hostile/angry responses on the test, and/or
• Tried to “fake” the test

Many applicants reveal high-risk behaviors on multiple levels. On average, clients typically see a 20% – 25% Non-Qualified rate.

Individuals involved in ongoing, risky behaviors (like theft and/or illegal drug use) may eventually rationalize their behavior. After a while, they can come to believe that there is nothing wrong with their abnormal conduct. IntegrityFirst obtains a high level of honest disclosures from the applicant. In fact, more than 90% of all applicants screened tell the truth about their high risk behaviors.

Applicants may take the test either online via our secure applicant website or through their smartphones. In either case, the test is self-administered utilizing electronic formats. Applicant results can be reviewed at any time by authorized personnel via our secure online management console.

Most applicants can complete the test in less than 10 minutes. Results are received immediately, thus expediting the hiring process.

IntegrityFirst is written at a 5th grade reading level and available in English or Spanish. Additional languages can be made available by request. Applicants who are illiterate or blind have the option of using audio versions in either English or Spanish.

We recommend administering the test during the pre-interview process, after your Job Application Form and our short Informed Consent Form have been completed. Since IntegrityFirst will weed out these candidates very early in the hiring process, you save valuable time and money on drug screening and pre-employment background checks.

Companies using integrity testing increase their earnings through significant reductions in their workers’ compensation losses, reduced Short Term Disability claims, as well as decreased turnover and reduced employee theft. The high risk individuals identified by the test are the ones who come to the workplace with a “workplace entitlement mentality.” The overall quality of the workforce is improved when high-risk job candidates are culled from the applicant pool.
