Does BlackRock use hair testing for their interns?
I recently got offered an internship at BlackRock as an analyst and I am afraid they will do a hair test. They already said they will be doing an FBI background check instead of the traditional one, so this makes me think they will dish out the cash for a hair test. I've smoked probably 4 or 5 times in the past few months, so I'm screwed if that's the case.
Hair drug tests at
and I personally know about a dozen people who work or have worked at BlackRock (they recruit like crazy at my school.) They have never taken a hair test. A few were even dilute the first time and the firm just let them take the retest whenever as long as it was before employment started.

Haha. Scaremongering. FBI background checks are common. It's nothing to get worked up about. But, if you're worried, you should shave your head...
It is BlackRock, not crackrock and they definitely do a hair test. Shave that shit off.
What position? Know someone personally who just started at BlackRock within the past 3 months and had to do a urine test off-site, no hair test.
Know people that started at BlackRock and only did urine test off-site, no hair test.
No way an intern takes a hair test. Chill out... Drink plenty of water the day of your test.
I interned for a large Oil & Gas firm in the trading group and they hit me with that hair test -- luckily I knew 3 months in advance that it was coming, but spring break sucked.
My friend had to do a blood test for his internship, but that was a few years ago, so that might not be the case anymore. Good luck!
BlackRock - Hair Drug Test? (Originally Posted: 03/22/2018)
Has BlackRock recently used hair tests for incoming analysts in NY? What background check company is used? If you are an analyst or have any information about the process, please share! Thank you :)

Never heard of them doing hair tests, but I did have to sign my offer letter in blood.
anal swab as well.
I heard they take a stool sample to check for edible drugs
College roommate went through a drug test scare. Never smoked in his life but right after his superday he got really drunk and ended up smoking that good kush. He and I spent hours of research trying to figure out what to do. Here is the deal: if you shave your head hair, they will take body hair, eyebrow hair, whatever. If you shave your entire body to be as smooth as a baby's ass, you will fail the test. And all those shampoo and crazy hair wash methods are unlikely to work- some people still fail after essentially washing their hair in battery acid, bleaching it, and dying it again. Others pass after using some fake snake oil off Amazon. There is no telling what works, and obviously no actual research is done on these methods.
If it's hair, you are fucked. It's up to you to decide if you want to risk the test or just pull out. If it's piss, no worries. Drink cranberry juice in the days leading up to the test, work out a few times, and pass with flying colors.
@dan_yo23" - good on you for posting legitimate advice

In general - these are finance firms not the government not the military and not prison. They need bodies and pretty much only do drug tests as a matter of routine. Some firms (UBS and MS maybe even BAML) don't even drug test.
So chill out. Although I say that knowing it's easier said than done.
Shave your entire body, why risk it? Say that you are a competitive swimmer. Even though in reality- you are a lazy stoner who is probably hairy everywhere. My nose just started bleeding at work and I snapchatted it to my friends but YOU, my friend, are a loser.
This comment = 11th reason you are annoying
Better see if McDonalds is hiring, R.I.P. OP.
The thread's thumbnail cracked me up. Money.
I'd be somewhat surprised if they actually do a hair test in place of a urine one. Good luck OP...
Never crossed it myself but have heard complaints. You're effed. Check these guys out.
