Are you drug tested at work?

It's no different than the latest method companies are using to screen employees...credit checks. It gives you insight into what type of person you're dealing with.

From an employers viewpoint, I want the best of the best working for my company. If you have bad credit, or are a drug user, you aren't in that group IMO.

Heh, I think that's a pipedream. Some of the best, most trustworthy, loyal people I know have been known to smoke. So, that's just nonsense. But hey, if it's your company and you don't want to hire them, that's your choice. Some of the worst, most corrupt people may never have smoked or had bad credit in their lives.
