Our comprehensive credit reports are provided by one of the three major credit bureaus, ensuring that our clients receive the most accurate and up to date information that is available.
For all of our verification services, First Choice conducts attempts daily over a defined period of time, according to the client’s business rules and/or scope of work. This process may include obtaining and providing the applicant’s signed authorization to a previous employer or school and/or reaching out to the applicant directly to obtain supplemental documentation. If a verification is unsuccessful, it is escalated to a lead/supervisor for review prior to completion. This unique method allows First Choice to have a high success rate, across all clients. Some of our services include:
