First Advantage Brings Background Screening to the Bullhorn Marketplace

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., May 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- First Advantage, a leading provider of talent acquisition solutions, announced today the integration of its background screening solution with Bullhorn's applicant tracking and customer relationship management software. Staffing and recruiting professionals can now screen candidates from directly within Bullhorn, taking advantage of a wide range of tools including criminal checks, employment and education verifications, licensing and sex offender checks, and much more.

"Seamlessly passing information between Bullhorn and the First Advantage screening platform eliminates redundant data entry and significantly reduces errors," said Paige Vesuvio, Vice President of First Advantage. "Additionally, the applicant's screening information is now permanently tracked within Bullhorn so that users have all the critical data they need instantly at their fingertips."

First Advantage is available via the Bullhorn Marketplace, a destination that gives staffing and recruiting agencies access to an extensive range of software applications and services, all of which are pre-integrated with Bullhorn. All Marketplace partner applications are accessible online and help recruiters streamline every touch point of their business - from background checks and payroll to accounting system integration and sourcing - to drive bottom-line results.

"As an existing Marketplace partner, First Advantage first wowed our customers with its state-of-the- art employee assessment technology," said David Beaver, Bullhorn's Director of Corporate Alliances. "We are very excited to expand on this and provide customers with market-leading background screening tools, which will unquestionably boost staffing and recruiting efficiency."

First Advantage's industry leading screening tools are used by thousands of employers and staffing firms worldwide to mitigate hiring risks and optimize quality of hire initiatives.
