Providing the most pre-employment screening reports in the Asia Pacific area allows First Advantage to focus exclusively on the client’s screening needs, build a scalable operation, and commit top management to the process.

International Screening Methodology
First Advantage follows a proven methodology for obtaining quality screening results. Using a thorough verification process to uncover qualifications, memberships and licenses, as well as interviewing previous employers and supervisors to gather information on performance, honesty and reliability, we set ourselves apart in the region. Based on jurisdictional availability, First Advantage also conducts public record searches including: criminal, credit, civil litigation, bankruptcy, local & international media, financial and regulatory, proprietary databases, and international proscribed lists.

Breadth of Information Sources
In addition to using numerous databases aggregating regulatory, criminal and compliance information from around the region and the world, First Advantage has also developed a “Degree Mill” database. It contains detailed information on hundreds of organizations around the world that sell unaccredited “degrees” by mail or online. We check each candidate degree claim against the database, and flag any suspect findings for clients.

First Advantage employs a group of experienced professionals in the legal, accounting, human resources, finance, banking and law enforcement fields. Our corporate structure and personal approach to the business allows us to deliver a focused and flexible solution. First Advantage currently runs comprehensive screening programs for over 150 leading companies in the Asia Pacific region. Clients include top investment banks, fund managers, technology companies, retail banks, BPO’s, software developers, overseas background screening companies, oil companies and manufacturers.

Compliance

Understanding local laws and regulations is paramount for a successful screening program.
