WHY BackgroundFirst
Speed
In a direct comparison with more than 1,000 screening vendors, BackgroundFirst provided the fastest turnaround time. Onboarding the right person as quickly as possible boosts morale, increases productivity, and ensures that critical functions are completed on time.
Price
In a nationwide market research study, BackgroundFirst rates were determined to be typically 15-30% lower than most competitors. A dollar gained in revenue is great, but only a small portion reaches earnings. A dollar saved from costs, however, goes directly to the bottom line of your company.
Accuracy
Turning down the right candidate due to inaccurate records hurts, and hiring someone with unreported criminal records is devastating. BackgroundFirst is founded upon delivering the most accurate results, especially as orders start to approach 5,000-20,000 in a given month.

Fastest Turnaround Time
All screening companies claim to be fast – and many are. But in apples-to-apples comparisons with more than 75 competitors, our turnaround time is always the fastest. How do we know this you ask? Before becoming a new client we offer a free trial to compare vendor to vendor turnaround time.
Compliance
We take compliance very seriously so that we can advise our clients to avoid costly errors. Our senior customer service agents and technicians are required to earn their Basic FCRA Certification from the NAPBS. Our system is equipped with features to maximize compliance and we have the most experienced background checks legal counsel on retainer.
The Easiest User-Interface

Fast
Every screening provider says they are “fast,” but we put our money where our mouth is. With numerous digitized county court searches, integrations with verification third-parties, carefully vetted court researchers and technology optimized for speed, we are definitely one of the fastest.
Compliance Support By HR Lawyers
Many companies have been investigated and sued recently for conducting background checks in violation of laws and regulations. But our clients have access to a team of Global HR lawyers who will advise our clients on any labor or employment law matter, minimizing their legal exposure.
