Detroit, Mich. (PRWEB) November 6, 2007 -- nowHIRE.com, a premier provider of applicant tracking and hiring management systems (http://nowhire.com/index.htm), and eScreen (http://www.escreen.com/) today announced a strategic partnership.

The partnership will allow nowHIRE and eScreen to offer employers 15-minute negative drug test results nationwide. The drug testing will be available through eScreen’s network of over 1,500 occupational health providers that have been equipped with the eScreen drugs of abuse screening system powered by eScreen123. This automated solution is managed by the employer from eScreen’s web-based application, MyeScreen.com.

"Our partnership with eScreen underscores our continued commitment to provide our customers with increased value," said Joseph N. Impastato II, nowHIRE’s president and founder. "eScreen’s offerings compliment nowHIRE’s continued dedication to offer our customers a customizable, efficient and easy to use applicant tracking system (http://nowhire.com/Products.htm)."

Through MyeScreen.com, employers will benefit from 15-minute negative drug test results, enhanced web tools for tracking and scheduling drug tests and pre-employment physicals to eScreen’s network of clinic partners, and the ability to access real-time notifications of donor no-shows. At the point of collection, clinics use eScreen123 and the eScreen Drugs of Abuse System to provide instrumented instant drug screens with digital chain of custody forms and electronic signatures.

MyeScreen.com and eScreen123 applications create a closed-loop system designed for hiring administrators to manage drug test collections, results and statistical data direct from their desktop.

eScreen’s President and CEO Robert Thompson said, "eScreen was built on the concept of electronic integration, so the partnership with nowHIRE was a logical development for meeting the demands of companies seeking automated, streamlined hiring program technology. We are excited at the opportunity to take eScreen’s integration capabilities to the next level."
