Does Fidelity Investments drug test or do a background check?

Yes! After making you wait a month after the offer letter, they get around to doing a hard background check on you even if you are a contractor. They only use Transunion and my info was inaccurate and out of date by 10 years, but they don’t care. The background check information form is riddled with bugs online and is so antiquated. So first they verify employment and do the hard credit check . If you have a credit freeze you may want to remove it. They also do drug testing. You are mandated to get it done within 72 hours of getting the email. All emails came in the evening after business hours so when I called them, I got an answering machine. It’s a worse background check than when I worked for a defense firm in a top secret area. I’m not even working with money! Worst onboarding practice I’ve ever encountered in over 20 years of work experience. If you have student loans, they will hold it against you.

They do both. Drug test in person and a full background screening, which includes credit check, criminal record check, fingerprinting, BCI/FBI report, employment verification, education verification and driving record. You are required to fill out an I-9 to verify you are legally able to work in the US. I believe they look at 10 years of criminal history for both felonies and misdemeanors. They are incredibly in-depth and any issues that arise, you will be notified via email and will have the opportunity to address. They give you time to fix any issues or discrepancies, but they will require documentation. My advice: be honest and transparent out-the-gate. Check your email regularly during this process and respond to any inquiries quickly. If you want the job, until you get a final offer for employment (not a contingency), stay on top of this process!

Yes. Both are required before you can be hired.
