None of the information we read answered this specific question. It’s likely that each company Robert Half hires for will have their own policy on drug testing. In our experience, it is always better to assume employers will do a drug test. That way you won’t run into any issues if they have you go through testing.
The last thing you want is to ace the interview and then miss out on a great opportunity because you failed the drug test.
