Advanced Background Screening Solutions for Education

Help to keep your students, faculty, and staff protected.

Create a Trusted Working Environment

In order for learning to take place in schools, universities, and other academic programs, your students need to feel a sense of safety, and that starts with the people you hire. Inviting full-time, part-time, volunteers, or contract employees into your classrooms or campus requires thorough screening. First Advantage's pre-employment background screening and identity solutions are configured to the education industry to help institutions make confident hiring decisions.

Educational Expertise

Hiring regulations are complex and ever-evolving. First Advantage's dedicated team of compliance experts and Customer Success Partners shares best practice information while continuously monitoring new legislation so you can be proactive on the latest industry trends and requirements.
First Advantage also has many competitively-bid cooperative education agreements which we can leverage to streamline the procurement process.

Digital Identity

Digital Identity is designed to help you mitigate risk through a simple process where candidates verify that the information they provided about themselves, including name and date of birth, is indeed their own. This allows employers to verify that candidates are in fact who they claim to be. In any situation where remote verification is needed, both accuracy and reliable technology play critical roles.
