AB Global Launches “Golden Glove Coordination Service” to Simplify Drug Testing in Rural and Hard-to-Serve Areas

New concierge coordination model streamlines occupational health testing for employers, ensuring every candidate can complete required testing quickly, compliantly, and stress-free

The Gold Standard in Background Screening®, today announced the launch of its Golden Glove Coordination Service, a first-of-its-kind solution designed to eliminate the logistical and administrative challenges employers face when arranging drug testing in remote or limited-coverage areas.

The Golden Glove Coordination Team serves as an extension of each client’s HR department — locating collection sites, managing candidate scheduling, securing consents, and tracking results through completion. The result: faster, compliant testing with less frustration for employers and candidates alike.

“This program was born out of real client needs,” said Brittany Bollinger Boyle, President & Founder of AB Global. “Employers told us they were spending too much time trying to solve one-off situations for candidates in rural areas. Golden Glove ensures every test gets done, every candidate is supported, and HR teams get back the time they need.

A Concierge Approach to Occupational Health Testing

For a modest coordination fee, AB Global’s occupational-health experts research each candidate’s area to identify a local, one-time-use collection site.
Once confirmed, the Golden Glove Team manages the process end-to-end — coordinating directly with the candidate and site, ensuring compliance documentation, and tracking progress through final results.

Typical turnaround time is just 24 hours to provide testing options and pricing details, keeping employers informed and minimizing hiring delays.

Employer Benefits Include:
  • Streamlined candidate experience — simplified scheduling and support
  • Upfront cost transparency — full visibility before coordination begins
  • Locked test rates — only local site fees may vary
  • Expert oversight — each case managed by AB Global’s occupational-health specialists
  • Administrative relief — AB Global handles all logistics, freeing HR to focus on core responsibilities
The Gold Standard Difference

Unlike volume-driven providers, AB Global’s Golden Glove Coordination Service reflects a hands-on, concierge model that prioritizes precision, accountability, and communication.
Every order — whether a single request or part of a national program — receives the same attention to detail that defines AB Global’s “Gold Standard” service promise.

“This is about peace of mind,” said Curt Schwall, President of AB Global. “With Golden Glove, employers can trust that no matter where their candidates are located, testing will be completed efficiently, compliantly, and with the human care that defines our Gold Standard.”

“The old guard in background screening simply doesn’t operate at this level,” said Elly Rader, Senior Manager of Client Concierge and Occupational Health Services. “When others hit roadblocks, the process breaks down. When we do, it’s gone before anyone notices. Our clients don’t get generic portals or offshore call centers; they get real people who own the outcome from start to finish. That’s the Gold Standard difference — accountability, urgency, and a level of service the industry forgot existed.

With Golden Glove, employers finally have a stress-free, transparent, and fully managed way to coordinate testing outside traditional coverage areas — no excuses, no surprises, and no dropped balls.
