Employment Background Checks Prove to Be Necessary

Employment testing is a necessary aspect of every successful business. Both in testing employees capabilities and background screening, new employees must be checked to be sure that they will contribute to their prospective company. Since 1991, Edge Information Management, Inc. has evolved from a local provider of pre-employment background screening services to a thriving business with a national scope, offering a comprehensive suite of background screening and drug testing services. Celebrating its fifteenth anniversary, Edge is pleased to announce the expansion of its drug testing services with the introduction of Evidential Breath Alcohol testing services to businesses throughout Brevard County. This service is especially beneficial to local businesses falling under Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations with their Commercial Driver License (CDL) drivers.

Headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, Edge was founded in January 1991 by a diverse group of professionals including a businessman, an engineer and a private investigator. Edge initially offered dial-up access service to its clients. With the proliferation of consumer Internet access, Edge launched a web-based application, WebScreen SM, in 2001. Companies found using WebScreen SM, enabled them to generate compliance, exception and management reports as well as ensure confidentiality by limiting viewing privileges of authorized company staffers by way of personalized user ID?s and passwords.

In further response to insight gained by these collaborative efforts, Edge helped simplify the hiring process for a vast array of clients by venturing into drug-testing services in January 2001. Now, with today?s announcement of on-site Evidential Breath Alcohol testing services, local DOT regulated businesses throughout Brevard County will have the opportunity to enjoy worksite collections, (with a minimum of five donors per visit), as well as on-site 24-hour post-accident collections. Each test is administered by professionally trained and certified Edge collectors and takes on average only ten minutes to complete.
