Paradox
Think about the work you do every day. The things you love about your job. The things you don’t. The things you’re stuck doing. The things that weigh you down. The things that stack up when your recruiters have 40 reqs to fill or a manager has an entire restaurant to staff.
Now, think about why you got into this line of work in the first place.
We’re willing to bet it wasn’t to screen resumes or mindlessly change statuses in an ATS. It probably wasn’t to play calendar back-and-forth to schedule every interview, or chase candidates when they don’t show up for one. It wasn’t to endlessly answer the same repetitive questions. And it wasn’t to remind candidates to — for the sixth time — please complete their background check.
You got into recruiting because you love the people stuff.
The thrill of discovering the perfect candidate for a critical role. The joy of seeing them accept the job. The challenge of guiding a hiring manager through the heartbreak of a declined offer. The empathy to walk a candidate through why they weren’t your top choice. You do what you do because you’re a champion of talent — the kind of person who actually cares about the teams you build and the people who rely on you to do it.
So, why can’t recruiting be about that stuff again? Why can’t your work be less about the work you hate and more about the stuff you signed up to do?
We believe it can be.

OraSure Technologies, Inc.
Did you know drug abuse in the workplace costs employers approximately $81 billion annually by 70% of abusers that are employed? It is now even more important that employers provide a robust drug-testing program that offers employees alternative testing methods, especially during COVID.
For years, testing for drugs of abuse has been wrought by challenges encountered with urine laboratory-based testing. A number of these drawbacks include shy bladder issues, increased opportunity for dilution or adulteration, collection hassles, and of late, the ability to detect recent use in legalized marijuana states.
