Drug Testing for Staffing Agencies and Temporary Employees

Published August 25, 2026

Staffing agencies can streamline candidate placement by establishing a repeatable drug-testing and background-screening workflow before assignments begin.

Staffing agencies often need to place workers quickly while meeting different client screening requirements. A standardized testing workflow can reduce delays and make it easier to track candidate readiness.

Separate agency policy from client requirements

Determine whether screening is required by your agency, the client company, a contract, or a specific regulation. Document who is responsible for ordering and receiving the result.

Match the test to the assignment

Different positions may require different screening. A warehouse assignment may be Non-DOT, while a transportation position could involve DOT-regulated duties. Do not assume one panel or process fits every placement.

Create a fast candidate workflow

Collect the candidate’s contact information, confirm the required service, send clear instructions, and track completion. Avoid sending candidates to a collection site without the employer or account details required for the test.

Protect candidate information

Only authorized personnel should access screening information. Maintain records according to applicable requirements and your internal privacy procedures.
