"First Advantage Review"
4/5
What do you like best about First Advantage?

The intergration with other employee systems like Workday is seemless and effective for everyday hiring and background check results, making FADV easy to use. I have only had to contact customer support a handful a times, and each time was quick and resolved my issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about First Advantage?

While it may not be a direct dislike with FADV, but the prolonged turn around time on some retults in some jusidictions without any real inforamtion on the delay or if there is a way to speed things up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"If I saw FADV on a dating app, I'd swipe right!"
5/5
What do you like best about First Advantage?

FADV knows how we do business. They get us. This translates into a partnership defined by trust, consultative support, and innovation. FADV doesn't let complexity get in the way of business. Meredith and Matt connect me to resources and put information within my reach at the right time, every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about First Advantage?

I don't dislike anything about our partnership with FADV. I quite simply could not do this without them. I've shopped around and there is no comparison. Several years ago, we had customer service issues. The way the FADV team addressed and resolved the problems - and have remained dedicated - gives me the confidence that they are committed to our partnership and are supportive of our mission.

"People are Great - Support Systems Are Not"
4/5
What do you like best about First Advantage?

The people. The reps are incredibly friendly; many times I find myself laughing and connecting with them. The majority of my interactions are with someone who is trying their very best to get me an answer to my question or solution to my problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about First Advantage?

Being bounced around when calling for support. The people are wonderful, but they seem to be limited by their departnement, on what they can help with. It seems to me that the issue is with the systems and setup of support functions. I've also had some widly difficult experiences, such as: not being able to release criminal elements after adjudicating non-criminal elements; or having candidates be sent to a screening location that would take them over an hour to get to.

What do you dislike about First Advantage?

We have experienced some significant delays in the processing of background checks, resulting in new hires being pushed back and our organization failing to meet hiring goals and deadlines. First Advantage has worked diligently with us to improve this as they are able. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Partner for Change & Efficiencies!"
5/5
What do you like best about First Advantage?

Our partners listen to us, help determine our needs (even things we didn't know we needed) and customize programs/offerings for us! Literally changed our whole hiring & background check process! Great partners! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about First Advantage?

I would have said response time, but it's been great now that FA has implemented its Chat feature! We actually plan on adding more services so I can't really say we dislike much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Worst company I ever worked with"
0/5
What do you like best about First Advantage?

They have a website where you can add documents to your case, the problem is, they forgot to make it possible to "attach" a document!The only way is to take a picture either with your phone or laptop camera, so if you have the documents but not printed, you are NOT able to add it to your case. How rubbish is that? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about First Advantage?

They Team is on auto-pilot mode, they are there to survive the day but literally don't care to help you with your issues, to make your onboarding smoother or even, finish the check before you start your work! I started my job without this company finishing my check and I needed to involve HR and tell them to take over, because I can't spend my time anymore on Sterling and need to concentrate to pick up the new Job.

What do you like best about First Advantage?

They're a great partner to work with! Our account with them is global, so there are many challenges to sort out, but for the last 16 years, these challenges have done nothing to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about First Advantage?

Some limitations in the system but nothing that they already know and are working on enhancing. The international dispute process can for sure be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I would highly recommend First Advantage"
5/5
What do you like best about First Advantage?

We use FADV for pre-employment screening, WOTC and I-9s. I love having one vendor that can take on so many of our services under one umbrella. Our Customer Success Director is the best. She quickly responds to emails and addresses any of our questions and concerns. (Thank you, Lamis!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about First Advantage?

Everything has been positive. Nothing comes to mind for dislikes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
