Through this partnership, Peopleclick Authoria offers its global client base deep assessment and pre-employment screening capabilities.

"In today's economy, each employee plays an even more critical role in the overall success of an organisation.

Today, through our strong partnership with First Advantage, we are delivering one of the most competitive and robust assessment and background screening systems as part of our full suite of Talent Acquisition services to Peopleclick Authoria customers around the world."

Pre-employment and background check screenings are critically important productivity and compliance initiatives for many international organizations. Through this alliance, Peopleclick Authoria clients will have access to a cost-effective, international screening provider that understands each country's screening program and can ensure the success of their background screening program. First Advantage's world-class assessment tool addresses the needs of global organisations as they look to streamline the end-to-end hiring process and achieve meaningful results, including an improved quality-of-hire within today's shifting market dynamics.
