      "First Advantage reported outdated, incorrect and easily verifiable information to an employer and has cost me a direly needed job offer. The incorrect information reported is even more egregious as First Advantage verified my recent employment in healthcare over the past 5 years which would have been impossible had the incorrectly reported information actually been accurate."

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles. As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service, or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation.

    When considering complaint information, please consider the company's size and volume of transactions. Note that the nature of complaints and a company’s responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints. BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period.
