Services Tailored for Your Industry

We offer screening packages for controlled and non-controlled positions with various options to help our clients make informed and compliant hiring decisions. Our technology services can include:
Directorship Search

In the UK, First Advantage can check whether there are any current or previously-held directorships, declared or undeclared, by the candidate which may constitute a conflict of interest for the employer. This search also checks against the Disqualified Directors list held by Companies House. In addition, based on the candidate’s address history in the last three years or more, First Advantage can launch a Directorships search, or a best-practice equivalent, in almost any country in the world.

Credit Check

For certain roles, you need a more holistic view of a candidate or company. Credit checks and financial health reports are invaluable to filling in the gaps. In addition, credit checks are often mandated for candidates with managerial, accounting, financial record, or check-writing responsibilities. Our reports reveal unbiased insights into candidates’ financial background.
