Energy Industry Background Screening FAQ
What checks do energy and oilfield employers usually run?
Common packages combine criminal searches, drug and alcohol testing, employment verification and, for driving roles, an MVR. Packages are customized to each client's needs and any site or contract requirements.
Do you offer drug testing for energy employers?
Yes. SaffHire offers pre-employment, random, post-accident and reasonable-suspicion drug testing. Drug screens are ordered through the SaffHire portal, performed at Labcorp facilities, and results are delivered through the portal. DOT and non-DOT testing is available.
Can you screen workers hired for sites in other states?
Yes. SaffHire is a Veteran-Owned company headquartered in Frisco, TX and serves employers nationwide. Federal, State and County searches cover the jurisdictions where the applicant has lived.
How long does screening take?
Instant searches (SSN Trace, Sex Offender, Global Security Watch List, National Criminal Database, state database and MVR) usually return in minutes. Standard Packages 1-3 average 1 day, Package 4 averages 1-2 days, and Packages 5 and 6 average 2-5 days. County searches and verifications depend on courts, employers and schools, so individual results can vary.
Are there extra fees on some searches?
Court access fees may apply to State and County searches; these are pass-through fees. State fees may apply to Motor Vehicle Reports (MVR). There are no setup fees and no minimums.
