Hi,
Does Lincoln international actually do a hair follicle test? I took an edible like a month ago and I never smoke, but my guess is that it will show up on the test. Kind of freaking out a bit now. I’m also in NYC, where weed is legal. Should I be worried?

They do hair test
Do you have any insight as to if they would actually ever rescind an offer for light marijuana use?
Not sure tbh, I just know my buddy stopped smoking and doing any drugs 6 months prior to his test
I’m lateraling after my first year at a different company.
Lmao do they actually hair test that’s insane
I thought NYC couldn't test for weed anymore?
Yeah, it doesn’t so I think I’m fine. Was just looking to see if anyone had any specific insight.
Fair point. Any firm absurd enough to do a hair test probably best to be safe..
If you’ve smoked weed, even once, in the past year, you can NOT fucking work at Lincoln International
I thought THC only stays in your hair for a few monthes?
Can we get an actual employee / SA to chime in lol
Work at Lincoln. Yes, it’s a hair test. They don’t care about THC / weed even though it’s part of the standard panel. They’re after cocaine, hard drugs, and I think even prescription users (so if you take addy but no script - what I’ve heard anyway).
Hair test is so crazy wow. I had a pretty intense drug test when interning at a F500 Tools & Dx company but even then they didn't do that. To be clear, I found out about this drug test while taking a bong rip during summer school while holding my waiter job at one of the local restaurants. As a non-stoner I was pretty miffed that I had to deal with this shit the one time I smoked bud but it somehow worked out even as quest diagnostics checked that I didn't have a fake penis on me.

Do you know how many panels the drug test was? Like did they test for benzos?I took one for a flight to Europe and then one for the flight back and I have the hair test coming up soon.
Does this also apply to the Dallas office? Like do they care about thc?
Can confirm that laterals get hair tests
.
Believe so but they don’t care about THC/ weed as a poster mentioned above. Looking for harder drugs
When do they test? When the offer is given or when you begin?

Shortly after the offer is given. Required before
starting
Is there a period of time that you need complete the test by? Or just have the test done before start?

They send out testing instructions after the offer and you just need to get it done by the start date. I had done maybe 10 lines in total on separate occasions 2-3 months before my test and was cleared. That’s what they’re after.

because of how extensive that timeline is I'm not exactly sure. Recruiting is way too early these days.

If you’re in NYC, employment can’t be based on THC.
