"Bugs Bugs Bugs and then a lot of bugs"
0/5
What do you like best about First Advantage?

None nada, there is nothing I can say positively about this product. Their product is slow full of bugs and tech support is just incompetent. Please avoid them, they don't deserve your hard-earned money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about First Advantage?

- Bugs Bugs Bugs and then a lot of bugs

- Support staff is incompetent and not helpful at all.

- They asked me to send my BGC application 3 times, and it takes at least 1 hr to complete it. Such a waste of time and effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sterling is absolutely impossible to cancel"
0/5
What do you like best about First Advantage?

absolutely nothing. It is truly the worst, and I wish we had never signed up for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about First Advantage?

Sterling is impossible to cancel. We have sent multiple cancellation letters. They required one to be signed on company letterhead and we complied with their asinine request. Still, we keep receiving invoices 7 months later, and each time we have to jump through some ridiculous amount of hurdles, only for them to come back and invoice us again.

"It's been a good ride, so far!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about First Advantage?

Most of our criminal background checks complete more quickly than our former background vendor. The FADV team is also knowledgeable and helpful, especially when there is an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about First Advantage?

The downside is that our stats can not be easily obtained because the First Advantage system separates the criminal/background processes from the drug screen processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
