Ryan Brunner has over ten years of experience recruiting, interviewing, and hiring candidates in the healthcare, public service, and private manufacturing/distribution industries.
According to their career site, both a drug test and background check are a part of the onboarding and pre-employment screening process at UnitedHealth Group. Additionally, if you will be involved in direct patient care, the state you are working in will require additional background check processes. This is a common question the company likes to ask to ensure that their top candidate will be willing to consent to a full background check and be able to pass their guidelines. If you have any marks on your criminal background, now is the time to disclose those. If any blemishes are found, your honesty about them during your interview process could mean a greater chance that the company will still hire you. Speak openly about your ability to pass UHG's background check and your willingness to comply with all steps of the onboarding process.

"Yes, I would be so excited to accept an offer from UnitedHealth Group and comply with all pre-employment processes you require. In my current role, I'm required to submit to random drug screenings, and am happy to say that I am both alcohol and drug-free. Four years ago, I did receive a speeding violation and paid my fine right away. This does show up on criminal background checks and wanted you to be aware."

Nice job!
