Tesma Outlaw - Founder, CEO
I’m the founder and CEO of The Hire Lab, where I help businesses hire with confidence through comprehensive drug screening, background checks, and verification services — including DOT and Non-DOT drug testing, DNA testing, ink fingerprinting, breath alcohol testing, and I-9 verification.
I started The Hire Lab because I believe employers deserve fast, accurate, and reliable screening partners they can trust to protect their workplaces and their people. We’re currently in our launch phase, building relationships with businesses that share our commitment to safety, compliance, and integrity in the hiring process.
I’m passionate about supporting companies of all sizes as they build stronger, safer teams — and I’m always open to connecting with HR professionals, business owners, and hiring managers looking for a dependable screening partner.
