World’s Leading Background Screening Company to Integrate Social Media Searches Through Fama
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 05, 2017 -- First Advantage, a Symphony Technology Group (STG) company and the leading global provider of background screening solutions, today announced that it has taken its partnership with Fama Technologies, the automated social media screening company, to new heights by developing a full-scale integration into its background screening platforms. The technical integration comes just a few weeks after the companies celebrated the one-year anniversary of their partnership.
For years First Advantage clients have been asking for a viable option to screen social media in a way that was legally compliant and efficient. The partnership with Fama has offered a new, optimized solution to clients interested in ordering social media screens and helped cement First Advantage’s position as a technology leader in the rapidly growing background screening industry.
While the initial partnership involved outsourcing the ordering of reports to Fama’s web platform, First Advantage sought a more seamless experience for its clients. With the integration anticipated to go live in 2018, First Advantage clients will be able to order job-specific screens of a candidate’s online identity with the click of a button. Since 2015, Fama’s tailor-made social media screens have helped employers fill in gaps of information on the people they are bringing into their business.
“We’ve seen a tremendous response from First Advantage clients since we kicked off last year,” said Fama CEO and Founder Ben Mones. “Many of our shared clients were asking for an integration, and true to our mutual ‘customer-first’ approach, we are delivering on that request. Both parties are committed to creating the best possible experience for their respective customers, and this integration is a testament to that customer promise.”
