Employment Screening and Drug Testing

Every hire is a risk decision. For government contractors and growing organizations, an incomplete background check can lead to costly turnover, legal exposure, and compliance problems that put contracts at risk.

Employment Background Screening

Accurate, Compliant Screening for Every Hire

Not every hire requires a full investigation, but every hire deserves an accurate and compliant screen. For routine and high-volume hiring, KSC delivers employment background screening built on the same principle as our investigative work: verified information, reviewed by people, not just algorithms.

Searches draw on 40+ criminal, civil, and regulatory databases with national coverage across all 50 states, and flagged results are reviewed by a licensed investigator before a report is delivered. KSC also manages applicant communications, FCRA disclosure and consent, verification follow-ups, and adverse action support, so your HR team can stay focused on hiring. Screening options include:

  • SSN trace and address history
  • National multi-jurisdictional criminal database search
  • Local, state, and federal criminal record searches
  • 50-state sex offender registry search
  • Civil records and litigation search
  • Domestic and global watchlists, including OFAC
  • Identity verification
  • Employment and education verification
  • Motor vehicle records (MVR)
  • Professional license and credential verification
  • Executive screening packages
  • Vendor and subcontractor screening
  • Continuous arrest and criminal monitoring
  • DOT and non-DOT drug and alcohol testing
  • Single-candidate or bulk ordering
  • Custom packages built around your positions

Vendor and Subcontractor Screening

Your Risk Includes the Companies You Hire

For government contractors, a vendor or subcontractor with a history of fraud, litigation, or sanctions can jeopardize contract performance, compliance standing, and reputation. KSC screens both the business entities and the principals behind them before you commit, and can continue monitoring throughout the relationship. Vendor screening can include:

  • Entity verification, registration, and active standing
  • Corporate history and prior status
  • Background screening of owners and key principals
  • Bankruptcies, liens, and judgments
  • Pending and prior litigation
  • OFAC, PEP, and debarment list checks
  • Financial and legal risk indicators
  • Ongoing monitoring for the life of the partnership
