Due Diligence

It is important to know if the subject (which can be an individual or entity) of an investigation has been involved with serious criminal matters, is politically exposed, or has concerns tied to their financials, regulatory licensure, global security or their reputation in the media. Completed by our private investigations subsidiary, Sterling Diligence, our in-depth investigations help protect your workplace, investments, and reputation.

Fingerprinting

First Advantage offers fingerprint-based criminal checks to help companies comply with industry hiring regulations and mitigate risk. We offer a national network of hundreds of collection sites, and support FBI, FINRA, and SWFT fingerprinting requirements.

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.
