First Advantage dominates background screening, but BlueHive provides the complete occupational health program your workforce needs.
What is First Advantage?
First Advantage (FADV) is a background screening powerhouse with 1B+ records and coverage in 200+ countries. Their 2024 acquisition of Sterling Check for $2.2B solidified their position. While excellent for background checks and identity verification, they're not an occupational health platform. For drug testing, physicals, and compliance management, you'll need to look elsewhere-or manage multiple vendors.
Primary Focus:
