BlackRock Drug Test SF SA

Was wondering if BlackRock conducts urine, blood, or hair tests for their summer analysts in SF?

I foolishly took something recently and would be cutting it close for a hair test.

Thanks so much guys.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, BlackRock does not appear to conduct hair tests for their interns, including summer analysts. Multiple users have shared that they have not encountered hair testing at BlackRock, and some even mentioned that the firm allows retests for diluted samples. However, it’s worth noting that if a hair test were to be conducted, shaving your head or body won’t help, as they can use other body hair.

For urine tests, general advice includes staying hydrated and avoiding substances well before the test. If you're concerned, it might be best to reach out to HR for clarification on their specific drug testing policies for the SF office.
