First Advantage pairs a large proprietary records database with automated workflows, so most United States criminal screens close within one business day. More than 100 applicant tracking and human capital management integrations keep screening inside the systems employers already use.
Scale gives First Advantage reach across more than 200 countries and territories and a customer base of about 80,000 organizations, including most of the Fortune 100. Its identity verification combines document, data, liveness, and biometric checks inside a single workflow.
Employers are extending screening and identity verification across the whole employment lifecycle rather than only before hire. A survey of more than 5,000 HR leaders and job seekers found risk mitigation and hiring speed among the top priorities for hiring teams.
Identity fraud in hiring is adding to demand, with one in four candidate profiles globally projected to be fake by 2028. Continuous monitoring and digital identity checks carry screening past the point of hire.
