Is It Time to Switch Your Background Screening Provider?

In today’s fast-paced hiring environment, speed and efficiency are crucial. With the average time to hire hitting a record high of 44 days and the cost per hire nearing $5,000, background screening has become a critical factor in both your hiring speed and overall hiring costs.
If your background screening process is holding you back, it might be time to make a change. At First Advantage, we provide a comprehensive and innovative background screening solution designed to help you hire faster, save money, and improve your overall hiring strategy.

- Slow turnaround times leading to frustrating hiring backlogs.
