Background Screening and Drug Testing
for the Hospitality Industry
The hospitality industry has significant reasons for background screening its
applicants according to studies that demonstrate that up to 40% of employment
applications are falsified (Hotel Security Report, Jan. 2002) and background
screening has been correlated with a 10% decrease in employee turnover (Hotel
Business Security, May 2002). Additionally, drug testing has been shown to
reduce the amount of workplace accidents, since 65% of accidents on-the-job are
substance abuse related (O.S.H.A.). Hospitality Industry Stats in the right
column are statistics from actual searches conducted this year by InfoLink
hotel and leisure industry clients.
InfoLink specializes in and provides background
screening and drug testing to hundreds of hotels, resorts, and recreation
facilities. Companies such as Sunstone Hotels, The Ritz Carlton, Sheraton, and
Marriott all rely on the vital information InfoLink provides before finalizing
their hiring decisions.
