Important Announcement

Recruitment Fraud Warning: Beware of Recruitment Scams

First Advantage is committed to maintaining a safe and secure recruitment process. Unfortunately, fraudulent recruiters and job scams are increasingly common and may involve fake emails, text messages, social media accounts, messaging applications, websites, or individuals falsely claiming to represent First Advantage.
Please note:

  • First Advantage will never ask applicants to pay money at any stage of the hiring process.
  • We do not charge fees for applications, interviews, assessments, background screening, onboarding, training, equipment, visas, immigration services, or employment offers.
  • We will never ask candidates to transfer funds, purchase gift cards, or make payments to secure a job opportunity.
  • Official recruitment communications will come through authorized First Advantage representatives and official company channels.
  • If you receive a communication that seems suspicious or requests payment, do not respond or provide personal or financial information.

If you are unsure whether a job opportunity or communication is legitimate, please contact us through the contact information provided on this website before taking any action.

First Advantage is not responsible for losses resulting from fraudulent schemes conducted by individuals or organizations that are not affiliated with our company.

It has been brought to our attention that a small number of US-based job applicants who have applied for open positions with First Advantage (FA) are receiving falsified offers from individuals posing as recruiters for FA.

Please be advised that a member of the FA Human Resources team would not: send an offer to an applicant without having conducted formal interviews, send applicants a check to purchase their own work equipment, request an applicant’s bank information, or ask applicants for sensitive, personal details during the recruitment process.

The individuals involved in this apparent effort to commit fraud are not connected with FA, and FA does not take any responsibility for their actions. Applicants who believe they have received fraudulent communications or offers can review tips to protect oneself from these scamming attempts on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)’s website here, https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/job-scams, and report fraud to them directly here: https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/. Additionally, any applicant who wants to report suspected fraud to FA directly can share relevant details and communications with our Customer Care team, using this form: https://help.fadv.com/s/contactsupport/ccform.
