Continuous Monitoring Made Simple

With First Advantage, continuous criminal records monitoring is simple and effective. If an employee arrest or booking record is found posthire, our system will investigate further. If pending criminal cases or convictions are found, you’ll receive a report so you can take action as necessary for your company.

Pre-hire checks capture a single point in time. Continuous monitoring keeps an ongoing eye on criminal activity to provide more timely results — so you can take prompt action if needed.

A new criminal record triggers an investigation first to verify it before it’s reported to you. This helps reduce false alarms for erroneous records, dismissed charges, and similar situations.

First Advantage provides extensive digital data coverage with access to millions of sources, including 975 million court records updated every hour1 and sex offender registry coverage across all U.S. states and territories.

First Advantage’s continuous criminal records monitoring is easily consolidated with background checks and identity verification for a solution that covers the entire employee lifecycle.
